Ingredients:

For the Sauce:

  • 1 (14.5) oz can Dei Fratelli Whole Tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp. Granulated Sugar, optional
  • 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Black Pepper

For the Gnocchi:

  • 1 lb. Potato Gnocchi, fresh or shelf-stable
  • 8 oz. Burrata Cheese, fresh
  • 1/4 Cup Basil Leaves, fresh, torn in pieces
  • Salt for pasta water, as needed
  • Parmesan Cheese, grated, as needed for serving

Instructions:

  • Begin by prepping your ingredients. Dice your onion, slice garlic, drain tomatoes, and measure out your heavy cream and sugar (if desired). Bring a pot of salted water to a boil to cook your gnocchi in.
  • To make your sauce, start by sautéing the diced onion and sliced garlic. Once softened and fragrant add in Dei Fratelli Whole Tomatoes and break them up with your spoon. Add in salt and pepper to taste and bring the sauce mixture to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, begin cooking your gnocchi. Drain the pasta water into a bowl or cup to save for the next step.
  • Return back to your sauce, add in the heavy cream and the cooked gnocchi. Add in the reserved pasta water, if needed to thicken your sauce.
  • Plate your Creamy Tomato Gnocchi and top with burrata cheese, parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.

Chef's Tip:

How long does gnocchi take to cook?
Gnocchi cooks very quickly, usually in 2–4 minutes when boiled, or can be added directly to sauces and cooked until tender.
What does burrata add to gnocchi?
Burrata adds a creamy, rich texture that melts into the hot gnocchi, enhancing the overall flavor and creating a more indulgent dish.
Can I make creamy tomato gnocchi ahead of time?
This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored and reheated. Add a splash of cream or water when reheating to loosen the sauce.
What can I serve with creamy tomato gnocchi?
Serve with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
