– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Making Baked Gnocchi with Sprouts and Leeks is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Gnocchi: Cook gnocchi according to the package instructions until they float. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté the Leeks and Sprouts: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
4. Add Garlic and Sprouts: Stir in the minced garlic and Brussels sprouts. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sprouts are tender.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream, then add the cooked gnocchi, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together well.
6. Top with Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a deliciously crispy crust.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
8. Cool & Garnish: Once out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
