1 large clove of garlic, pressed
?1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Splash of olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional:
1 lemon, zested (just the zest)

Steps:
1) Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook gnocchis until floating. Remove from heat, strain under cold water and set aside. Reserve 2 tbsp of the water.
