Gnocchi Topped with Black Truffles

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, drop in the gnocchi and cook them until they float up to the surface, which usually takes about 2 to 4 minutes. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and save about 1/4 cup of the cooking water before draining the rest.

Step 2

In a large sauté pan, combine the shallots and wine and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down a bit and let it simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, around 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the butter and let it melt completely. Then, drizzle in the truffle oil and mix it all together.

Step 3

Add the reserved cooking water, the gnocchi, and the Grana Padano cheese to the pan. Gently toss everything so the gnocchi get coated and cook it over medium-low heat until it’s warmed through and the cheese has melted. Season with some freshly ground pepper and a pinch of truffle salt, then give it another good toss.

Step 4

Finally, transfer the gnocchi to a big serving bowl. Scatter shaved truffles and the rest of the cheese on top. Finish with a sprinkle of black sea salt and a little extra pepper for a perfect touch.
