Creamy Tomato Gnocchi With Burrata

Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 to 8 garlic cloves peeled and lightly crushed
  • 2 pints of cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 16-oz. packages of potato gnocchi (DeLallo brand is great)
  • 2 4-oz. balls of fresh burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves sliced or torn

Method
 

  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. While the water heats up, warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to medium, add tomatoes, and cook for 10-12 minutes until they break down and become jammy. Season with red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream.
  5. When the water boils, add gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Save 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
  6. Transfer the cooked gnocchi and reserved pasta water to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2 minutes. Stir in fresh basil, saving some for garnish.
  7. Break burrata balls into pieces and distribute evenly over the pasta. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with reserved basil.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Avoid heating burrata, if possible. Add it after warming the dish.
  • Freeze leftovers (without burrata) in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
