Ingredients for Seared Scallops with Hand Rolled Gnocchi and White Wine Cream Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi

    If not prepared already, roll out the gnocchi dough and cut into small pieces. Boil in salted water until they float, then drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Make the White Wine Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet, add butter and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 3-5 minutes until reduced. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce, tossing gently to coat. Plate the gnocchi, top with seared scallops, and finish with shaved truffles and chopped parsley.
