Saucy Sun Dried Tomato Gnocchi
This saucy sun dried tomato gnocchi is baked and topped with melty cheese! Bubbly and warm, it's the ultimate comfort food. Yum.
Ingredients
- 1 (7 oz) jar sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 2 lbs gnocchi, cooked according to package directions (this is usually 2 packages)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable, or chicken! stock
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ⅔ cup heavy cream or half and half
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn into pieces
- fresh basil, for garnish
- crushed red pepper flakes, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the sun dried tomatoes on a paper towel and press out some of the oil to remove it. This is important or your sauce will be oily! Really press the oil out. Dice the tomatoes.
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions. This should only take about 3 to 5 minutes!
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sun dried tomatoes and the garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they soften.
- Place the stock in a shaker cup or bottle. Add the flour and shake the mixture for 30 seconds to create a slurry. Pour the mixture into the tomatoes in the pan while stirring constantly. Stir for a few minutes as the mixture warms up (it may thicken a bit).
- Stir in the cream and the parmesan until combined. Add in the gnocchi and stir to combine. Top with the torn mozzarella. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly and melty.
- Top with fresh basil, extra parmesan and red pepper flakes.
