Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package gnocchi (store-bought) Store-bought gnocchi works perfectly fine.
- 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with sour cream or a plant-based alternative.
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- to taste Fresh basil for garnish Adds freshness to the dish.
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and turn them occasionally until they're golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir over medium heat until the cream starts to simmer.
- Add the chopped sundried tomatoes to the sauce and keep stirring until well-mixed and heated through.
- Once the gnocchi are crispy and the sauce is ready, combine them in the frying pan and toss together until every gnocchi is coated.
- Plate the crispy fried gnocchi and sprinkle fresh basil on top before serving.
Notes
If your sauce seems a bit lumpy, stir until smooth; perfection isn’t the goal—flavor is! Leftover sundried tomatoes can be used in other recipes like homemade beef burgers. Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat gently.
