Parisian Gnocchi

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 package gnocchi pasta
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring water, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to stir, beating dough forcefully and rapidly to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Continue cooking until dough pulls away from sides of pot leaving a thin layer and steams slightly.
