Ingredients
- 1½ cups bolognese sauce
- 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups prepared gnocchi
Instructions
- Add the bolognese, tomato paste and cream to a blender and pulse until fairly smooth (It won't be completely smooth, but will definitely be less chunky than it was to start.
- Transfer the creamy bolognese sauce to a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the sauce is heated through, taste for seasonings and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- While the sauce is heating, cook the gnocchi by bringing a pot of water to a boil and adding gnocchi. Cook according to package directions. (Note: I use homemade gnocchi that I store in the freezer.) If you're using the homemade gnocchi, when the water boils add a pinch of salt and the frozen gnocchi. When the dumplings float to the top, the gnocchi is ready.
- Drain the gnocchi and add to the hot bolognese sauce. Toss to coat and serve in shallow bowls with grated parmesan cheese.
