Tomato Gnocchi

Ingredients

flour

  • 5 oz Flour

paste

  • 4.3 oz Tomato Paste

seasoning

  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 0.5 pinch black pepper

tomatoes

  • 15 Cherry or Grape Tomatoes

garlic

  • 1 garlic

cheese

  • Parmesan Cheese

herbs

  • Basil

oil

  • 2 oz Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the flour, tomato puree, and a pinch of salt, and mix until you get a smooth mixture. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, core the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half (or more pieces if they are large), and prepare a fresh sauce by cooking them in a large pan with garlic, oil, and salt for 5-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. When it boils, cut the dough with scissors and drop the pieces directly into the water.

  4. 4

    Stir the gnocchi and, as they rise to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and add them directly to the pan with the sauce. Add a little of the cooking water as well and let them cook for a few minutes over medium-low heat, adding the cheese.

  5. 5

    The tomato gnocchi are ready! Enjoy these quick and simple yet flavorful gnocchi.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the preserved ingredients.

May the simplicity and flavor of these tomato gnocchi bring joy to your meal, offering a delightful alternative to traditional potato gnocchi while maintaining the comforting essence of home cooking.
