Black truffle gnocchi is a luxurious and indulgent dish that is perfect for a special occasion or celebratory dinner. Gnocchi is a type of potato pasta that is soft, pillowy, and filled with flavor. In this recipe, the gnocchi is coated in a rich, creamy sauce made with butter, shallots, garlic, pinot grigio wine, and black truffle oil and salt. The sauce is finished off with a generous amount of finely grated padano cheese, which gives the dish a sharp, nutty flavor. Shaved black truffles and black sea salt are used to garnish the dish, providing an extra pop of flavor and texture. Serve this dish with a side salad and a glass of pinot grigio for a decadent meal that is sure to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the stove and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until just al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
2.While the gnocchi is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened for about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the pinot grigio and let it simmer and reduce slightly for another 2-3 minutes.
3.Add the black truffle oil, black truffle salt, and Italian black pepper to the skillet and stir until combined. Toss the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with the sauce, adding the reserved pasta water to thin out the sauce if necessary. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi is coated in the sauce to your liking.
4.Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the padano cheese over the top of the gnocchi, stirring until the cheese is melted into the sauce.
5.Garnish with shaved black truffle and black sea salt, if desired.
