Gnocchi with Radicchio and Parmesan Cream

Gnocchi with radicchio and Parmesan cream: an ideal combination for a quick first course. Today, I experimented with a type of gnocchi that cooks without boiling first, but goes directly with the sauce and a cup of boiling water. A fast way to prepare a main course. Today, I prepared them with radicchio, lightly sautéed in a pan, and finished them with my Parmesan cream, which I practically put everywhere. Try to make it yourself, it’s delicious.

Steps

  • I washed and dried the radicchio. On the cutting board, I divided it into two parts and cut it into julienne strips. In the pan with the extra virgin olive oil, I added the finely chopped onion and let it soften gently. I added the radicchio and, with the lid on, let it cook for 10 minutes. I add the wine and let it evaporate.

  • I heated the water and, once ready, added it to the pan with the cooked radicchio and raw gnocchi. Still with the lid on, I cooked them for 5 minutes, stirring often.

  • I turn off the heat and add the Parmesan cream.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
