Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • small handful fresh basil torn/sliced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the oil and butter to a deep skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning to the pan. Give it a stir.
  3. Stir in the gnocchi. Let it cook, stirring fairly often so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, until it's cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). The sauce will thicken as the gnocchi releases starch.
  4. Give the gnocchi a taste, and if it's cooked, stir in the mozzarella, parmesan, and basil until the cheeses melt. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.

Notes

  • There is no need to pre-cook the gnocchi. It'll cook in the sauce.
  • The sauce is meant to be quite thick, but if you find it gets too dry before the gnocchi is cooked, add in another splash of chicken broth or wine.
