Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dashes Italian seasoning
  • 1 (14 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 1 small handful fresh basil torn or chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional) to taste

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil to a skillet on medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes (ok if it's lightly browned). 
  • Add the white wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir until you've got a smooth mixture and let it cook for about a minute. 
  • Add the diced tomatoes, cream, and gnocchi. Wait until it starts to lightly bubble again, then reduce the heat to medium and cover for 5 minutes. 
  • Give it a good stir, and add the basil and season with salt & pepper. Let it cook for another couple minutes to ensure the gnocchi is fully cooked and the starch thickens the sauce up a bit more.
  • Stir in parmesan (optional) or sprinkle it on top. Serve immediately. 

Notes

  • The gnocchi will cook right in the sauce - no need to cook it beforehand. 
  • This makes 4 reasonably sized portions. If you're feeding extra hungry people, I recommend serving this with a salad, garlic bread, and/or something else. It would also make a great side dish.
