Ingredients
- For the Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Gnocchi and Toppings:
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 1 ball of burrata cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Heat it up!
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and let it dance until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika, stirring for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2: Create the sauce
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, give it a good stir, and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes. Then, add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Let everything simmer together for another few minutes.
Step 3: Cook the gnocchi
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they float to the top, they are ready. Drain and transfer them to the tomato sauce.
Step 4: Combine it all
Mix the gnocchi gently into the creamy tomato sauce until they are beautifully coated.
Step 5: Plate it up
Plate the gnocchi mixture and place a glorious ball of burrata right in the center of each serving.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious Italian flavors!
Notes
Tip 1
Make sure the gnocchi is cooked until they float in the water, as this indicates they are done.
Tip 2
For a bit of spice, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers.
Tip 3
Burrata cheese can be replaced with fresh mozzarella if you prefer a different texture.
Tip 4
To enhance the dish, serve with crusty bread for dipping in the creamy sauce.
