Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• ½ cup white wine
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in ham and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until liquid has reduced by 3/4 of the original amount, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain gnocchi and set aside.

Step 3

Add cream to the skillet and bring to a rolling boil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in marinara sauce and cooked gnocchi; toss lightly to combine. Add parsley and basil. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve.
