The flavor of potato gnocchi is lifted by this sweet, fresh, spicy sauce.

Provided by Laura N

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ minced red chile pepper
2 pints cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 ½ cups canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh basil
⅔ cup kalamata olives, sliced
1 (16 ounce) package fresh gnocchi
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and chile pepper; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the cherry tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have lost their form and are beginning to make a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fresh gnocchi, and cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently strain out the gnocchi and place into a serving dish.
  • Stir the basil and olives into the simmering sauce, and cook for one minute. Pour the sauce over the drained gnocchi and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best gnocchi, use a starchy potato such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will give the gnocchi a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, the gnocchi will be mushy.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the gnocchi tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overcrowd the gnocchi when cooking it: Cook the gnocchi in batches so that it has room to float and cook evenly.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately: Gnocchi is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply boil the gnocchi for 1-2 minutes, or until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Gnocchi with spicy tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your gnocchi turns out light, fluffy, and flavorful.
