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.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Gnocchi Water Magic 💧Always reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining gnocchi, as the starchy liquid is crucial for creating a silky, emulsified pink sauce.
- Pink Sauce Perfection 🎨Slowly whisk in heavy cream and cheese off the heat to prevent splitting and achieve a smooth, velvety pink sauce consistency.
- Chicken Cutlet Crispiness 🍗Pat chicken dry before seasoning and use a cast-iron skillet with hot oil to ensure a golden, crispy exterior with maximum flavor.
- Cheese Melting Technique 🧀Grate your mozzarella and Parmesan fresh and add them gradually, stirring constantly to create a smooth, even cheese integration in the sauce.
- Fresh Basil Finishing 🌿Tear fresh basil leaves instead of chopping to release more aromatic oils and preserve their delicate flavor when garnishing the dish.
