Gnocchi Al Pomodoro

Gnocchi Al Pomodoro

I’ve been dreaming of this recipe for months now and am glad to finally see it come to fruition! I had a version of this at a restaurant last year and I’ve been dying to make it at home ever since. LOVE a good one skillet gnocchi dish and this Gnocchi al Pomodoro covered in cheese and fresh herbs does NOT disappoint!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup - extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 stems - fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 2 stems - fresh rosemary
  • 2 stems - fresh basil
  • 1 - yellow onion
  • 5 cloves - garlic
  • 28 ounces - San Marzano tomatoes
  • ½ tsp - salt
  • black pepper
  • ¼ cup - heavy cream*
  • ½ cup - dry red wine
  • 1 - bay leaf
  • 16 ounces - gnocchi
  • 8 ounces - pearl or cherry size mozzarella balls
  • ½ cup - provolone or parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add in the fresh parsley, rosemary and basil. Cook until the herbs start to get a little crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Discard the parsley and basil but save the rosemary for a little later.
  3. Keeping the heat in the pan, add to the olive oil the onion and garlic. Season withe 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in all of the tomatoes, cream, and wine. Add the bay leaf and the crispy rosemary and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes or until it has thickened slightly.
  5. Mix in the gnocchi, bring the sauce to a boil and cook another 4 minutes.
  6. Remove from the heat and discard the bar leaf and rosemary. Place the mozzarella all through the skillet, pressing each piece down into the sauce a bit. Sprinkle on the shredded cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Optional: broil for a few minutes to get the cheese a little crispy on the top.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes and ENJOY!
  8. Cream: you could also omit the cream altogether as desired
