Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerator, or frozen (regular, cauliflower, or sweet potato))
- 1–2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2–3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Place the gnocchi in a mixing bowl.
- Add the extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the gnocchi are evenly coated.
