How To: Peel Garlic
step-by-step
instructions
1 Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the parsley; roughly chop the leaves and stems. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste.

2 Crisp the gnocchi

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the gnocchi in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the gnocchi are browned and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl; stir in as much of the garlic paste as you’d like and all but a pinch of the cheese. Toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Heat the sauce & serve your dish

To the same pan, add the tomato sauce and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like it to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through. Serve the finished gnocchi with the sauce on the side. Garnish the gnocchi with the chopped parsley. Garnish the sauce with the remaining cheese. Enjoy!
