Gnocchi With Pomodoro Sauce

I used 1/4-1/2 tsp dried herbs and fresh basil. Added 2 tbsp tomato paste (from another recipe). Fried the gnocchi in oil for a few min then added to sauce to finish cooking for 6 min. Didn't broil, just stirred the cheese in, added the basil, and served. Delicious.

This meal was brought to you by my finally realizing we have a broiler, because somehow I've overlooked that thing for years. This was my first time eating gnocchi and I was not disappointed! I was very happy with the result and I will definitely make this again. 😋 It reheated in the microwave just fine without becoming "rubbery," but I didn't have them in there longer than a minute and a half. Remember to chop the onions real small. ~ ¼ c. 🫒 oil, medium heat. Add 4 Italian parsley stems, 4 oregano stems, 2 rosemary, and 2 basil. Cook ~5 mins or until crisp. Remove and discard the herbs, then add a diced half yellow 🧅 and 3 minced/pressed 🧄 cloves. Lower the heat if necessary to gently cook the onions (don't brown) for 5-7 mins or until transparent. Then crush the 🍅 with your hand and add to the pan with their juice. Season with kosher 🧂, pepper, and red 🌶️ flakes and simmer 30-40 mins [20 minutes is better for me], or until the sauce reduces and thickens, stirring occasionally. [Remember to heat water in a pot to cook the gnocchi.] Stir in ¼ c. heavy cream if you'd like and remove from heat. Once pot of water is boiling, add gnocchi and season generously with kosher 🧂. Once gnocchi floats to the top, drain and add to the pomodoro sauce. Top with halved mozzarella balls and sprinkle ½ c. grated parmesan 🧀, and drizzle tops of gnocchi with a tbsp more 🫒 oil. Broil 5-8 mins, until cheese melts and the tops are crispy. Garnish with additional basil leaves.

This is Corey's favorite meal.

Delicious. Make sure to chop onions very fine. Also, would've been great without mozzarella balls. They were good but I think the sauce was the real showstopper and the dish would've been great with only parm on top

Seems a little time consuming, but it really isn't. All you have to chop is onions, grate a little cheese, and stir occasionally. I swapped the heaby cream for some greek yogurt we had on hand. My 15mo LOVED it, 3yo wouldn't try it, but the adults loved it. I did a little side salad to help round it out and keep us from devouring the whole pan.

Good

Just kind of bland

I used gluten free egg noodles. It was delicious. Used dried herbs and left them in the oil. Also used a whole onion. Used my own blends of cheese. Delicious!

Absolutely delicious 😋 took about 45 minutes total! I didn't add heavy cream cause I didn't have any but I don't think it affected the taste. I added more hot pepper flakes to give it more spice

Simple and tasty. Also easy to modify with your herbs of choice to flavor the sauce

Love this recipe! We've made it tons of times. It's a little bit of effort, but well worth it.

The recipe doesn’t include that you’re not supposed to stir the dish after broiling it, so I ruined the texture unfortunately. That was entirely my fault but otherwise it was really good!

This is my new Italian red sauce recipe

This was really good! Had a unique flavor that we really enjoyed. Even better with homemade Gnocchi but store bought Gnocchi would work too!
