🍅 It's tomato season and I thought I'd share this beautiful very easy gnocchi dish I made for guests the other day that is perfect for summer. You can eat this as a side (we had it with grilled chicken, salad and focaccia), or add some protein and make it a full meal!
Ingredients:
- 1 package gnocchi
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 3 large garlic cloves, grated or smashed
- handful of fresh basil, spiced thin
- any fresh herbs youd like!
- fresh mozzarella (or omit for dairy free, which tasted great too!)
Method:
1. Heat oven safe skillet to medium high heat with some olive oil and sear the gnocchi on one side until its slightly brown (you can omit this step but it creates a nice crispy finish 👌). Remove to a bowl
2. Preheat broiler
3. Heat same skillet with olive oil/butter and add tomatoes. Cook until falling apart, using a wooden spoon to potato masher to press and smash them up. Add garlic and continue cooking a couple more minutes. Add basil, some salt to taste and any other fresh herbs youd like (I love thyme and rosemary for this. Fennel seed would be nice too, especially if youre adding cooked ground meat or sausage)
4. Remove from heat and add gnocchi, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning as needed
5. Top with fresh mozzarella and broil until melted and a little brown
6. Serve with some extra fresh basil on top!!
You can buy our cherry tomatoes directly from us at the farm (pints are $5 each) or Your Independent Grocer on Gordon for the same price! Certified Organic and soooo sweet and delicious 😋
