Description
A simple and satisfying one-pot meal featuring tender gnocchi in a rich, creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable gnocchi
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until they float to the surface.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add more flavor.
