Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi

Delight in tender gnocchi infused with rich, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, perfectly suited for a flavorful Italian-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper.
  2. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if needed to prevent stickiness.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces and gently press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2–3 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon.
  7. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  8. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat and lightly crisp the edges.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, drizzle with a bit of pesto or a light drizzle of cream before serving.
