INGREDIENTS

  • Main ingredients

    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 2 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated gnocchi
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt
    • 1 pinch sugar
    • 🍅 1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
    • 🧀 8 ounces marinated mozzarella balls
    • 🌿 Fresh parsley or basil (optional)

STEPS

1

Open marinated mozzarella balls and measure out 1/4 cup of the oil.

2

Pour oil into a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook gnocchi in batches in the hot oil until golden and heated through. Divide gnocchi evenly amongst 4 gratin dishes.

3

Add garlic and red chili flakes to the oil in the same skillet. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in salt and sugar.

4

Pour in tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to break up and crush the tomatoes.

5

Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer tomatoes for 15 minutes.

6

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

7

Taste sauce and adjust seasonings if desired. Spoon tomato sauce over the gnocchi. Top each dish with 3 marinated mozzarella balls and set on a baking sheet.

8

Add baking sheet to oven and broil until mozzarella balls are melted and golden browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

9

Garnish with parsley or basil if desired and serve immediately.
