Ingredients
  

1 pound store-bought gnocchi

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

½ cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

2 balls of burrata cheese

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Add the Tomatoes: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

        Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

          Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the creamy tomato sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve with Burrata: Divide the gnocchi mixture among bowls. Tear the burrata balls in half and place them on top of the gnocchi. The creamy center will add richness to the dish.

              Garnish: Finish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your delicious meal!
