Tomato-Eggplant Gnocchi image

A hearty but not-too-heavy, one-skillet summer dinner that's vegetarian too. Storebought gnocchi cook atop an eggplant and tomato sauce. Red pepper flakes give the dish a touch of heat that's tempered by creamy ricotta when served.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large eggplant (1 pound), stem removed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds large tomatoes (3 to 4), cored and diced
1 pound fresh or frozen gnocchi
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
1/2 cup ricotta

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium. Add eggplant, season generously with salt, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomatoes and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Return eggplant with any juices to skillet; season with salt. Add gnocchi in a single layer atop eggplant, cover, and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes (or, if using frozen, about 1 minute more). Sprinkle with basil and serve, topped with a spoonful of ricotta, more basil leaves, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

I'm allergic to eggplant, so I used zucchini instead. It turned out just as good!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.
