ingredients
- 8 ounces potato gnocchi
- 1 bundle of asparagus
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 cup grated fine Parmigiano Reggiano
- 3 cups arugula
- salt & pepper
Method
Step 1
Cut the woody ends of the asparagus and cut them in 2 inch pieces.
Step 2
Bring water and salt in a pan to a boil.
Step 3
Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the asparagus. Cook them on high heat for approx. 3 minutes, so they blacken a little.
Step 4
Once cooked, transfer the asparagus to a place and set aside.
Step 5
Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, add the cream, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and rosemary. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and simmer for a few minutes. The sauce becomes a little thicker.
Step 6
Add the gnocchi to the boiling water, cook for about a minute and the gnocchi will come to the surface. Drain them and add them to the sauce.
Step 7
Add asparagus and arugula to the sauce and taste. Add salt and pepper if needed.
