One Pan Gnocchi alla Vodka

—

in , ,

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion chopped finely
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (14 fluid ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 2 dashes Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi 
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Handful fresh basil sliced thinly
  • Salt & pepper to taste 

Preparation

  1. Add the olive oil and onion into a deep skillet over medium-high heat and sauté for 5-7 minutes (ok if the onion lightly browns).
  2. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. 
  3. Add the tomatoes and vodka and let it simmer for about a minute. 
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, half-and-half, and gnocchi. Give it a good stir, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the parmesan and basil. Season with salt & pepper as needed (I was fairly generous with the salt in this recipe) and cook for a couple more minutes to ensure the gnocchi is fully cooked through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The gnocchi will cook right in the sauce – no need to pre-cook it.
