One Pan Gnocchi alla Vodka
Description
One Pan Gnocchi alla Vodka features potato gnocchi simmered in a sauce made from canned diced tomatoes, vodka, half-and-half, and Italian seasoning. The process begins by sautéing onion and garlic in olive oil, then adding tomatoes and vodka to create a base. Half-and-half and uncooked gnocchi are stirred in, and the mixture cooks covered until the gnocchi softens. Parmesan cheese and fresh basil finish the dish, enhancing richness and freshness.
The result is a dish with creamy, tender gnocchi enveloped in a balanced tomato vodka sauce that has subtle herbal notes. The cooking method allows the gnocchi to absorb the sauce, ensuring each bite is flavorful without needing a separate boiling step.
This recipe serves well as a straightforward pasta dish for dinner or lunch, suitable for when you want a satisfying meal made with minimal cookware and effort. It uses pantry staples with fresh touches like basil and Parmesan to complete it.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped finely, small
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 diced tomatoes with juices, 14 fluid ounce can
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 2 Italian seasoning dashes
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 pound potato gnocchi uncooked
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- basil sliced thinly, handful, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the olive oil and onion into a deep skillet over medium-high heat and sauté for 5-7 minutes (ok if the onion lightly browns).
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes and vodka and let it simmer for about a minute.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, half-and-half, and gnocchi. Give it a good stir, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the parmesan and basil. Season with salt & pepper as needed (I was fairly generous with the salt in this recipe) and cook for a couple more minutes to ensure the gnocchi is fully cooked through. Serve immediately.
Notes
- The gnocchi cooks fully in the sauce, so pre-cooking is unnecessary.
- This dish stores well and makes good leftovers.
