Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion chopped finely
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (14 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 2 dashes Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi 
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Handful fresh basil sliced thinly
  • Salt & pepper to taste 

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil and onion into a deep skillet over medium-high heat and sauté for 5-7 minutes (ok if the onion lightly browns).
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. 
  • Add the tomatoes and vodka and let it simmer for about a minute. 
  • Stir in the Italian seasoning, half-and-half, and gnocchi. Give it a good stir, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the parmesan and basil. Season with salt & pepper as needed (I was fairly generous with the salt in this recipe) and cook for a couple more minutes to ensure the gnocchi is fully cooked through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The gnocchi will cook right in the sauce - no need to pre-cook it.
  • This dish makes great leftovers.
