Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi

Delight in tender gnocchi infused with the rich, tangy flavor of sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for an easy yet elegant Italian-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it thicken slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them with the sauce.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste.
  7. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the gnocchi are heated through and the sauce is creamy.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with extra basil or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
