Stated plan

Centralize the knight to e4, attacking the d6 bishop and f6 pawn with tempo.

Reasoning

White's knight on c3 can jump to the strong central square e4, simultaneously attacking the bishop on d6 and the pawn on f6, while eyeing tactical ideas against the queen on d7. Since Nb5 is simply met by ...axb5, Ne4 is the way to create real problems for Black without loss of material, forcing Black to deal with the threat of Nxd6 winning the bishop pair (Qxd6 only equalizes material but damages Black's structure).
