Method
Gnocchi Preparation
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and mash them in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges on each piece.
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches into the boiling water. They are done when they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Parmesan Sauce Preparation
Melt the Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add Cream
Once the butter is melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add Parmesan
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Combine Gnocchi and Sauce
Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce and gently toss to coat the gnocchi evenly.
