In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once it begins to bubble gently, add in 2 cloves of minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, removing the garlic to prevent burning.

Without cleaning the skillet, add the skillet gnocchi directly to the melted butter. Increase the heat to high, letting the gnocchi cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Once the gnocchi are perfectly crisped, return the reserved garlic to the skillet. Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi, tossing gently to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the gnocchi to a serving dish. Finish with the remaining grated Parmesan and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil or parsley.
