Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound gnocchi Store-bought or homemade
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shaved parmesan cheese
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 1 ball burrata cheese

Method
 

Cooking the Gnocchi
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi. Cook according to package directions until they float to the top (usually about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Toss in the halved tomatoes and cook until they soften and start to burst, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, and toss gently to coat. Fold in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serving
  1. Divide the gnocchi into bowls, and top with a generous scoop of burrata cheese and garnish with fresh basil.
  2. Dig in and enjoy the creamy goodness!

Notes

For a side, consider serving it with a crisp salad and garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream.
