3
tablespoons
unsalted butter
1/3
cup
heavy cream
1/4
cup
finely grated Parmesan cheese

to taste

Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter until melted and bubbling.
Add the cauliflower gnocchi (frozen or thawed) in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the gnocchi and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden brown on the other side and heated through.
Pour in the heavy cream, add the freshly grated lemon zest, and season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.
Stir in the grated Parmesan until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the gnocchi; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve topped with fresh herbs and additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes
Use thawed gnocchi for faster, more even browning.
Zest lemons before juicing to avoid losing zest.
Adjust cream amount if you prefer a thinner or thicker sauce.
Grate Parmesan fresh for best flavor.
