Make this creamy, one pot parmesan garlic gnocchi in just 15 minutes with under 10 ingredients! An easy and satisfying dinner recipe!
The original recipe for this creamy, carb-happy dish was made with a prepackaged sauce which, as far as I can tell, has been discontinued. But I didn’t want that to mean that our relationship with the one pot gnocchi should also come to an end, oh no no nooooo. That would just be cruel.
As with all one pot recipes, I love that this entire dish cooks together. You make the quick sauce, add the gnocchi, let the gnocchi cook directly in the sauce, then stir in some goodies like Northern white beans, fresh chopped kale and grated Parmesan cheese. And that’s all she wrote. So when you’ve got a couple hours of The Bachelor to watch but only a few minutes to get dinner ready beforehand, this recipe is your BFF.
And even though it’s creamy, the sauce is made with just a little bit of butter and milk, so it’s better for you than just straight dumping cream into the pot, as some creamy pasta recipes require. I mean, don’t get me wrong, those recipes are DELISH, but sometimes it’s just too much. Plus, this makes me feel like I can sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top of my gnocchi with a heavy hand. Balance.
If you’ve tried the original version of this recipe on my blog, I’d love to know what you think of the new recipe with the homemade sauce! And if you haven’t yet tried it, now is the time to get this dish into your life. It’ll warm you up from the inside out, like good comfort food should, and carry you through the rest of this ridiculously chilly winter.
One pot creamy gnocchi, will you accept this rose?

Um, yes please! You had me at one pot and creamy gnocchi… is anything better than that?!
Ummm, pinned. This looks amazing, and one pot? Love it.
Gnocchi and beans and kale are three of my happy foods, and I bet that all three of these together would be fantastic. This looks great for this time of year, when all I want to do is hunker down and wait for the spring to come.
