Gnocchi with Pink Sauce and Chicken Cutlet
This Gnocchi with Pink Sauce and Chicken Cutlet is a dreamy, carb-loaded dish perfect for indulgent nights. Soft, pillowy gnocchi is tossed in a velvety pink sauce made from garlic, tomato paste, heavy cream, and melted cheese, then finished with fresh basil for brightness. A crispy chicken cutlet served on top takes it to the next level, adding texture and protein to the creamy, cheesy pasta base. It’s comforting, decadent, and packed with flavor—the kind of meal that makes Fridays (or any day) feel special.
