Gnocchi

I have no idea what the name of this recipe is, or where it came from, but it was good. Quite rich, but goooooood. You only need a small serving, with a large salad to balance it out with :)


Gnocchi with Cream Sauce
(???)

SAUCE:
1/2 c. butter
2 oz. prosciutto, chopped
10 basil leaves, torn
1/4 c. pine nuts
1 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. parmesan cheese, shredded
+
1 pkg. gnocchi (or homemade, if you're really ambitious!)

Beat 1/2c. of cream until whipped and then set aside.
Melt butter in saucepan, add pine nuts and cook until the nuts brown a little.
Add 1/2 c. cream to the butter and pine nuts and bring to a light boil.
Cook for 1 minute, then turn the heat down to low.
Add basil and prosciutto.
Then fold in the whipped cream and the parmesan.

Add gnocchi to boiling water. Once they float, they are done! (happens quickly)
Remove and mix with sauce.
Serve immediately.
