Instructions
Creating the 30 Minute Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to craft this amazing dish:
1. Boil the Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes. Once they float to the top, they are done. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tomatoes start to soften.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
4. Pour in the Cream: Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well, allowing it to combine with the tomatoes. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Mix in the Gnocchi: Add the drained gnocchi to the creamy sauce, gently stirring to coat each piece evenly. Let them cook together for about 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6. Incorporate Basil: Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves and remove from heat. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Add Burrata: Gently pull apart the burrata and place it in the center of the gnocchi. Allow it to melt slightly into the sauce.
8. Serve: Divide the creamy gnocchi among serving plates and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top if using.
