- 1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (mixed colors)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or vegan alternative)
- 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese, torn into chunks
- Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 5–6 minutes until blistered and softened.
- Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
- Gently fold in the gnocchi and cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing the gnocchi to soak up the sauce.
- Turn off the heat, and nestle chunks of burrata on top of the hot gnocchi. Let sit for 2–3 minutes to allow burrata to melt slightly.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use coconut cream and vegan cheese for a dairy-free version.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine before the cream.
- Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
