Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 to 8 garlic cloves peeled and lightly crushed
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 16-oz. packages potato gnocchi I like DeLallo brand
  • 2 4-oz. balls fresh burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves sliced or torn

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. While waiting, warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add garlic. Cook until you smell the garlic aroma, about 2 minutes.
  3. Turn heat to medium, add the cherry tomatoes, and stir occasionally for 10 to 12 minutes until the tomatoes break down and become thick and jam-like, lowering heat if garlic browns. Add red pepper flakes if desired, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  4. Turn heat down to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  5. Once water boils, add gnocchi and cook until tender according to package directions. Reserve half a cup of the cooking water and drain the gnocchi.
  6. Move the cooked gnocchi and reserved pasta water to the skillet with the tomato sauce and toss continuously for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes shiny. Stir in most of the fresh basil leaves, keeping some back for garnish.
  7. Tear the burrata into chunks and spread them evenly over the pasta, then remove from heat. Garnish with the leftover basil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Warm leftovers gently on the stovetop or microwave without heating the burrata to keep its texture
  • For freezing, omit burrata, freeze in a sealed container up to 3 months, and thaw overnight before reheating
