General

Gnocchi

Tomato Sauce

Method

Prepare the Tomato Sauce

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  2. 2

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add 1 can (28 ounces) of San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand or lightly blended, to the saucepan. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Season and Simmer

    Add a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a handful of torn fresh basil leaves. Simmer the sauce uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cook the Gnocchi

  1. 4

    Boil Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of fresh gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 5

    Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

    Transfer the boiled gnocchi to the pan with tomato sauce. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi evenly with the sauce.

  2. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the sauced gnocchi in shallow bowls. Top each portion with a generous spoonful of stracciatella cheese or torn burrata. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm.
