⅓ cup olive oil

8 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed

2 pints cherry tomatoes

½ tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. black pepper

½ cup heavy cream

2 (16-oz. packages) potato gnocchi

2 (4-oz.) balls fresh burrata cheese

½ cup fresh basil leaves, sliced or torn

𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 :

Step 1 - Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2 - Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low.

Step 3 - Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 4 - Increase heat to medium and add tomatoes.

Step 5 - Cook, stirring occasionally, until at least half the tomatoes break down and become jammy, about 10 minutes.

Step 6 - Season with red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 7 - Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream. (Note: if you prefer a creamier, saucier pasta sauce, feel free to add an additional ¼ cup heavy cream.

Step 8 - When the water comes to a boil, add gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water and drain remaining.

Step 9 - Transfer cooked gnocchi and reserved pasta water to skillet with tomato sauce and toss continuously until the sauce is thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes. Stir in fresh basil, reserving some for garnish.

Step 10 - Break burrata balls into pieces and disperse evenly over pasta. Remove skillet from heat and garnish with reserved basil.
