Best 7 Gnocchi With Tomato Sauce Recipes

GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Warm olive oil in a 10-inch saute pan (with high sides). Once you see the oil shimmering, add the chopped onion and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and pinch of red pepper flake then continue to sauté until onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally (about 4 minutes more).
• Add crushed tomato, oregano, sugar, a few pinches of kosher salt and several turns of freshly ground black pepper, stirring to combine. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat to low then simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley and basil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package instructions, drain, then transfer to the pan with the tomato sauce. Stir the gnocchi into the sauce, then top with mozzarella and an even dusting of Parmesan cheese.
• Place pan under a broiler set to high, and cook until the cheese melts and turns crispy and golden in spots (5 to 7 minutes). Once the pan comes out of the oven, fold the melty cheese into the gnocchi, then finish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and basil. Serve immediately.

GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO SAUCE

GNOCCHI WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Bake potatoes in a 350 degrees F oven until tender. When cool enough to handle scoop out the insides and put through a ricer to eliminate any lumps. In a small bowl combine the egg, salt and nutmeg. On a lightly floured work surface mound the potatoes making a well in the center. Pour in the egg mixture then, using your fingers or a fork, begin to mix the eggs into the potatoes working from the outside in as to not break the "moat." When eggs are about halfway combined begin to sprinkle a bit of the flour and cheese over the potatoes, continuing to lightly knead, bringing the mixture together adding more flour as needed to make a pliable dough. Once the dough is no longer sticky the dough is done. It is important not to overwork the dough creating gluten giving the dough a dense texture. Working quickly and lightly will give you light, airy gnocchi. Dust the board with flour and roll 1/4 of the dough into a long rope about 1-inch thick. Cut into thumb size sections and set aside, tossing with a bit of flour to avoid them from sticking together. Repeat with the other pieces of dough. Using the back of a fork take each gnocchi and gently roll over the tines by lightly pressing with your thumb and allowing the gnocchi to fall off the fork. Boil gnocchi in a large pot of salted water until they float. When they float they are done. Remove and toss immediately with Spicy Tomato Sauce. Garnish with torn basil leaves and additional cheese.;
• In a large saucepot over medium-high heat add olive oil. Add onions and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant. Add oregano, chili flakes and tomato paste, stir until combined and paste cooks into the mixture, about 1 minute. Add red wine, stirring until almost completely evaporated. Season with kosher salt, pepper, to taste, and tomatoes using the back of a spoon to break up the tomatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook down about 20 minutes. Taste the sauce and add red wine vinegar, cheese and additional salt and pepper, if needed. If desired you may puree the sauce at this point using an immersion blender or keep it chunky. Serve with gnocchi.;
