Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi

Delicious and tender gnocchi infused with rich sun-dried tomato flavor, served in a creamy sauce that’s perfect for a comforting Italian-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes, cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a handful of baby spinach or substitute heavy cream with a non-dairy alternative for a lighter version.
