Method
Prepare Gnocchi
- 1
Boil the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, indicating they are done, usually around 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Stuffing
While the gnocchi is boiling, prepare the stuffing. Chop the fresh mozzarella into small cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the fresh basil. In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, balsamic glaze, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Stuff Each Gnocchi
Take each gnocchi and gently press it to create a small pocket in the center. Fill the pocket with the stuffing mixture, being careful not to overfill. Repeat for all gnocchi.

Sauté the Stuffed Gnocchi
