Pan Fried Gnocchi with Parmesan Cheese

1. Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions.
2. While the gnocchi is cooking, add the olive oil and butter to a 10″ skillet over medium/ high heat.
3. When the gnocchi is cooked, scoop out with a spider or slotted spoon and add directly to the melted olive oil and butter mixture.
4. Pan fry the gnocchi, lightly tossing half way through, taking care not to break it. This only takes a couple of minutes, you are looking for a light golden color. Don’t cook them too long or they will be hard. Season with a little salt and pepper, if desired.
5. Drain with a slotted spoon and place on a platter. Immediately top with the grated Parmesan cheese, garnish with flat leaf parsley (optional) and serve.
