- Lastly add in the grated parmesan cheese and cook on sim for another minute or until the gnocchi is soft and cooked. The sauce too should have thickened.
- Season with some more salt and pepper, if required according to your taste.
- Serve hot immediately accompanied with some dinner rolls or assorted bread basket.
Notes
In case Gnocchi isn’t available at your local stores or supermarket, you may very well replace them with pasta of your choice like Fettuccine, Penne, Fusilli or even Macaroni. Simply remember that unlike the Gnocchi that was added Uncooked into the pan along with the sauce, the Pasta needs to be Cooked prior to adding along with the sauce.
