Ingredients
  

  • 800 g potato gnocchi
  • 1 head broccoli cut into bite-size florets
  • 150 g Boursin
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ cup low sodium chicken stock
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or as needed
  • Salt and pepper to taste you may not need these

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the gnocchi and boil according to the package instructions, this is usually 2-3 minutes. You will know the gnocchi is cooked when it floats to the surface of the water. Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi from the boiling water and set it aside.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water, turn off the heat and proceed to make the creamy sauce.
  • Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat until hot, add butter and olive oil, and heat until hot and the butter melted. Saute the chopped onions until soft and fragrant, add Boursin cheese and chicken stock and mix until combined.
  • Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese and stir until the parmesan cheese is melted.
  • Drain the broccoli and add it to the sauce, simmer for 1 minute or until the sauce is slightly reduced.
  • Stir the boiled gnocchi into the sauce, taste, and add salt and black pepper as needed. Leave to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, the sauce should be reduced and creamy at this point, and coat the gnocchi and broccoli nicely.
  • Take it off the heat and serve immediately with a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Enjoy!
