Ingredients

2 lbs home-made or bought gnocchi
1 small onion
1 carrot
1 celery rib
2 3/4 lbs canned, peeled tomatoes
1 1/2 ounces butter
salt and pepper
8 ounces cream
1 pinch ground nutmeg
parsley (for sprinkling)

Steps:

Chop the onion, carrot and celery.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan or pot and add the onion, carrot and celery.
Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 fahrenheit (210 celsius).
Add the tomatoes,including the juice,to the pan along with salt and pepper.
Simmer for about 30 minutes until thickened.
Don't forget to stir occasionally.
Put in the blender and puree.
Pour it back into the pan, remove from the heat and stir in cream and nutmeg.
Season to taste.
Place the gnocchi in a large baking dish and cover with the sauce. (Precook the gnocchi to package directions if you are using storebought gnocchi.)
Bake in preheated oven until very hot and starting to brown on top.
About 7-10 minutes.
Serve immediatly, sprinkled with parsley.
The sauce can be made a day ahead up until adding the cream.
Only add the cream and bake just before serving.
This makes a great and very tasty vegetarian dish or side dish.
I like to make it with spinach gnocchi.
Serve with bread to mop up the delicious sauce.

This dish is a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

I'm not a huge fan of gnocchi, but this recipe changed my mind. The gnocchi were light and fluffy, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gnocchi turned out gummy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a great base for experimentation. I added some roasted vegetables to the sauce and it turned out amazing.

The tomato cream sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding a bit more cream or butter.

I've tried cooking gnocchi in the past, but they always ended up rubbery. This recipe produced light and fluffy gnocchi that were cooked to perfection.
