4 from 65 reviews

A rich and comforting gnocchi dish featuring slightly bitter radicchio sautéed and simmered in a creamy red wine sauce, topped with grated Parmesan for a delightful blend of flavors and textures.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 500 g gnocchi (homemade or fresh)
  • 1 small radicchio or half a large oblong radicchio
  • 200 ml cream
  • 100 ml red wine
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the radicchio: Rinse the radicchio under cold water, then remove the core and slice the leaves thinly to ensure even cooking and easy incorporation into the sauce.
  2. Sauté radicchio: In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced radicchio and cook it until it softens but still retains a slight bite, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add red wine: Pour in the red wine, stirring occasionally, and let it simmer until the liquid reduces slightly and the radicchio absorbs some of the wine’s flavor, around 5 minutes.
  4. Add cream and season: Pour in the cream, stir well, and season with salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly but remains creamy.
  5. Cook the gnocchi: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the skillet with the sauce.
  6. Toss gnocchi in sauce: Gently toss the cooked gnocchi in the radicchio cream sauce to coat everything evenly and allow the flavors to meld together over low heat for a minute.
  7. Serve and garnish: Remove from heat, transfer to serving plates, and generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh or homemade gnocchi for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a stronger wine flavor, choose a dry red wine like Chianti or Merlot.
  • Adjust seasoning carefully since Parmesan adds saltiness to the dish.
  • For a vegetarian option, ensure Parmesan cheese is vegetarian-friendly or substitute with a similar cheese.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
