  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh or store-bought gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream or plant-based alternative
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil from sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then 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 2 tablespoons of olive oil from sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and stir until the sauce thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes. Season with dried oregano or basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently tossing to coat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped basil if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes in oil for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the cream amount for your preferred sauce consistency.
  • Feel free to add cooked chicken or shrimp for added protein.
  • Experiment with herbs like thyme or parsley for extra freshness.
