Directions
- 1Add olive oil and butter to a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- 2Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth (or wine), and Italian seasoning. Stir.
- 3Stir in gnocchi and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). The sauce will thicken as gnocchi releases starch.
- 4Taste gnocchi; if cooked, stir in mozzarella, parmesan, and basil until cheeses melt. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup chicken broth or white wine
- 0.25 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella
- 0.5 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Equipment

Tips
- Add a splash of cream for a richer sauce.
- Add fresh herbs besides basil.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy tomato sauce.
- If the sauce gets too dry before the gnocchi is cooked, add another splash of chicken broth or wine.
- Do not freeze leftovers, the texture will change.
- Use refrigerated gnocchi from the supermarket for best results; homemade gnocchi is more delicate and may fall apart in this recipe
