Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the rustic tomato sauce and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

    Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi with the sauce.

  4. 4

    Add Cheeses and Basil

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the smoked mozzarella until it begins to melt. Toss in the fresh basil leaves and half of the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the gnocchi and top with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
