Ingredients

  • 1 lb Gnocchi
  • 1 jar Tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp Fresh basil

How to make it

  1. Read the gnocchi package instructions; shelf-stable brands can differ in their cooking methods.
  2. Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the gnocchi, following the package directions for any required water or oil.
  3. Add the tomato sauce and stir gently so the gnocchi stays intact.
  4. Simmer until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce is heated through.
  5. Tear the measured fresh basil over the warm gnocchi just before serving, dividing it evenly among four portions.

Check package directions, ingredient suitability and safe cooking temperatures before serving. Timings are estimates.
