Ingredients
Method
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- 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.
- 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.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
