Creamy Tomato Basil Gnocchi

How to make it

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2. 2

   While the water heats, mince the garlic.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. 5

   Add the cream cheese to the simmering tomato sauce. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Once the water is boiling, add the potato gnocchi. Cook according to package directions, usually for 2 to 3 minutes, until they float to the surface.

7. 7

   Drain the cooked gnocchi and add them directly to the creamy tomato sauce in the skillet.

8. 8

   Stir in the fresh basil leaves just before serving. Toss everything gently to combine and serve immediately.
