Ingredients
  

1 pound gnocchi (store-bought)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (preferably fire-roasted)

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

4 ounces burrata cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Add Tomatoes and Cream: Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, heavy cream, dried basil, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

        Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the creamy sauce. Allow everything to simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

          Serve with Burrata: Remove the skillet from the heat and divide the creamy gnocchi among serving bowls. Top each bowl with a piece of burrata, letting it melt slightly into the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

            Enjoy! Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of flavors.
