Gnocchi is a favorite in my house. Hot, fluffy pillows of potato pasta goodness. Like pasta and potato got together and had a baby. A delicious gnocchi baby.

There is one extra step in creating the sauce and it so SO WORTH IT. Infusing the olive oil with herbs.

Gnocchi With Pomodoro Sauce Ingredients:

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 stems fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
• 2 stems fresh rosemary
• 2 stems fresh basil, plus 2 more stems for garnish
• 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 28 ounce can of whole tomatoes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup heavy cream (optional…but encouraged)
• 1 16-ounce package potato gnocchi
• 8 ounces mini mozzarella balls
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Gnocchi With Pomodoro Sauce Directions:

1. Over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
2. Add the herbs. Be careful of grease splatter because the moisture in the fresh herbs will cause the oil to splatter. Cook the herbs for several minutes until they start to crisp and they have infused the oil with their flavors.
3. Remove the herbs, leaving the oregano.
4. Add the onion and garlic to the oil. Sauté until they start to take on color.
5. Add the can of whole tomatoes with the juices. Crush the tomatoes with a spoon.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
7. Allow the sauce to reduce 20-30 minutes to your desired thickness.
8. Add the cream if desired. Cream is encouraged.
9. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to the package directions.
10. Drain the gnocchi and add to the sauce.
11. Add the mini mozzarella balls.
12. Top with parmesan cheese.
13. Broil until the cheese melts and becomes golden.
