Description
Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata is a comforting dish that combines soft potato gnocchi with a rich and creamy tomato sauce, topped with luscious burrata cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, dried basil, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer gently while you cook the gnocchi.
- In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain the gnocchi.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the creamy tomato sauce, gently stirring to coat the gnocchi evenly.
- Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and gently fold it into the gnocchi and sauce. Allow it to warm through for about 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
- Add sautéed spinach or kale for extra greens and nutrition, or toss in some cooked chicken or shrimp for added protein.
