Equipment

  • Large Pot

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 1 28-ounce can San Marzano Tomatoes chopped or diced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil julienned, plus extra for garnish
  • 2/3 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetarian parmesan cheese can use a plant-based one for vegan version

Instructions

  • Cook gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain, toss with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and set aside.
  • In a large pot, add the remaining olive oil and begin by sautéing the garlic over low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until edges of the garlic begin to brown. Add in the fresh tomatoes, and stir.
  • Pour in the canned tomatoes to the pot, adding the canning liquid/sauce as well.  Add basil, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Simmer on low for 15 minutes. Sauce should thicken and become jammy.
  • When the sauce is finished cooking, toss and mix the cooked gnocchi, and garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese.
