Ingredients
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
2 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated gnocchi
-
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 pinch sugar
-
1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
-
8 ounces marinated mozzarella balls
-
fresh parsley or basil (optional)
Directions
-
Open marinated mozzarella balls and measure out 1/4 cup of the oil.
-
Pour oil into a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook gnocchi in batches in the hot oil until golden and heated through. Divide gnocchi evenly amongst 4 gratin dishes.
-
Add garlic and red chili flakes to the oil in the same skillet. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in salt and sugar. Pour in tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to break up and crush the tomatoes.
-
Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer tomatoes for 15 minutes.
-
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
-
Taste sauce and adjust seasonings if desired. Spoon tomato sauce over the gnocchi. Top each dish with 3 marinated mozzarella balls and set on a baking sheet.
-
Add baking sheet to oven and broil until mozzarella balls are melted and golden browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley or basil if desired and serve immediately.
Olive oil
The olive oil from the mozzarella already has herbs in it, so adjust seasonings carefully.
Gnocchi
I have not tried this with shelf stable gnocchi so cannot advise how it will turn out.
