Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata:
1. Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they float to the surface, they are done. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including their juices. Stir in red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Incorporate the Cream: Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy tomato sauce, ensuring all pieces are coated well.
6. Add Fresh Ingredients: Tear fresh basil leaves and add them atop the gnocchi. Stir just until combined.
7. Serve: Divide the creamy gnocchi among serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous piece of burrata cheese and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Garnish: Add extra basil leaves for garnish and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
These steps will guide you smoothly through the cooking process, ensuring that your Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata is a success!
