• STEP 6.Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter and ramps. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• STEP 7.Serve the potato gnocchi with ramps hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Cooking Tips

• To ensure light and fluffy gnocchi, be careful not to overmix the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
• If ramps are not available, you can substitute them with green onions or leeks for a similar flavor.
• For a richer flavor, you can brown the butter before adding the ramps and garlic.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover potato gnocchi with ramps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the gnocchi in a skillet with a little butter or olive oil.
• Serve the gnocchi as a main dish with a side of salad or vegetables, or as a side dish alongside roasted meats or grilled fish.
