Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float. Drain and keep warm.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add heavy cream to the skillet with sautéed garlic and stir. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Reduce heat to low and fold in the cooked gnocchi. Toss to coat in sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and herbs if desired.
