Experience a comforting bowl of 30 Minute Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata, where pillowy gnocchi meets rich, creamy tomato sauce.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, then drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy tomato sauce until well coated. Serve immediately topped with torn pieces of burrata cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover creamy tomato gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When reheating, gently warm the dish over low heat on the stove, adding a splash of water or cream to maintain its creamy consistency and prevent it from drying out.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, serve the gnocchi with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese alongside the burrata.
  • To enhance the richness of the sauce, consider using San Marzano tomatoes for a sweeter flavor profile, and don’t skip sautéing the garlic just until fragrant to avoid bitterness.
