Ingredients | Creamy Pesto Sauce Recipe For Gnocchi

1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ onion, finely chopped

1 ½ (14.5 ounce) cans passata (crushed tomatoes)

salt to taste

1 (18 ounce) package potato gnocchi

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 (4 ounce) ball fresh mozzarella, cubed

4 fresh basil leaves

Directions

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add passata and salt; simmer over low heat while you prepare the gnocchi.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Pour 1 ladle of tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Add gnocchi, remaining tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Arrange cubes of mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

Place baking dish in the oven and broil until mozzarella cheese is melted and sauce has slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with basil leaves before serving.
