Ingredients
  

1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

½ cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

8 oz burrata cheese

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

    Make the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

      Add Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Prepare the Creamy Element: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream into the tomato mixture. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until creamy and warmed through.

          Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently coating them in the creamy tomato sauce. Heat everything together for an additional minute, making sure the gnocchi are warmed through.

            Serve with Burrata: To serve, divide the creamy gnocchi into bowls, and place a piece of burrata on top of each serving. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

              Enjoy! Optionally, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil before devouring this creamy delight.
