Gnocchi with a Creamy Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Sauce
You will love this creamy gnocchi with sun-dried tomatoes and basil! It's a super easy and decadent 15 minute recipe that you'll want to devour again and again.
2tablespoonsjulienned sun-dried tomatoes (I used the kind packed in oil)
1/2cupdry white wine e.g. sauvignon blanc
1cupheavy/whipping cream
1pounduncooked potato gnocchi
1/2cupfreshly grated parmesan cheese
Generous handful fresh basilsliced thin
Salt & pepperto taste
Instructions
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, sun-dried tomatoes, and white wine. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the cream and gnocchi to the pan. Give it a good stir and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the parmesan and basil. Cook for a couple more minutes. Give the gnocchi a taste and if it's not quite done cooking, give it a couple more minutes. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
The gnocchi will cook right in the sauce. There's no need to pre-cook it.
Makes 4 reasonably sized portions (but I'd add a side salad or garlic bread or something if you're feeding really hungry people). Easily feeds more as a side.
If you don't want to use white wine for whatever reason, try subbing chicken broth. If you have to keep it vegetarian, veggie broth will work too.
This dish doesn't reheat very well (the sauce tends to separate). I suggest eating it fresh.
