  • 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 reserve and set aside 1/4 cup cooking water.

Stir in truffle oil until well distributed. Add reserved cooking water, gnocchi, and Grada Padano cheese; toss until evenly covered and cook over medium-low heat until heated through and cheese has melted. Add pepper and truffle salt; toss well.
