Description

A quick and comforting skillet dinner made with tender potato gnocchi, burst cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, Parmesan, and creamy torn burrata on top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 ounces burrata, torn
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil, torn

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and set a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Add the cherry tomatoes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to burst.
  4. Pour in the water and gently press some of the tomatoes with the back of a spoon to create a light sauce.
  5. Boil the gnocchi according to the package directions until tender and floating. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi to the skillet.
  6. Add the Parmesan cheese and half of the basil. Toss gently until the gnocchi is coated in the sauce.
  7. Let the gnocchi simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. If needed, add a small splash of water to loosen the sauce.
  8. Turn off the heat. Tear the burrata over the top and finish with the remaining basil and extra black pepper if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Use ripe cherry tomatoes for the sweetest and most flavorful sauce.
  • Tear the burrata instead of slicing it so you get creamy pockets throughout the dish.
  • Fresh basil gives the best flavor and should be added at the end.
  • Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
