Tips & Tricks (5)
- Gnocchi Texture Mastery 🥣Reserve some pasta water before draining gnocchi to help create a silky, clingy sauce that perfectly coats each pillow-like piece.
- Tomato Intensity Hack 🍅Caramelize tomato paste for 1-2 minutes before adding other liquids to develop a deeper, more concentrated tomato flavor in the sauce.
- Burrata Blooming Technique 🧀Let burrata come to room temperature before serving to ensure its creamy center is perfectly soft and spreadable when it hits the hot gnocchi.
- Herb Layering Magic 🌿Chop fresh basil just before adding to preserve its vibrant color and release maximum aromatic oils into the dish.
- Cream Sauce Stability 🥄Reduce heat to low when adding heavy cream and stir continuously to prevent separation and ensure a smooth, luxurious sauce.
