Ingredients
500 grams gnocchi, uncooked
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, diced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
¼ cup vodka
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for serving
Salt & pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1
Cook gnocchi according to the directions on the package. Reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
Step 2
Meanwhile heat olive oil on a large skillet over medium. Add garlic, shallot, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the shallot starts to soften (about 3 minutes).
Step 3
Add vodka and stir frequently until it has mostly evaporated.
Step 4
Add cream and parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thick. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
Step 5
Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce and toss to combine. If the sauce gets too thick, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to loosen things up.
Step 6
Serve immediately with red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Enjoy!
