One-Pot Baked Gnocchi Ala Vodka

Who doesn’t love a creamy vodka sauce? This one-pan meal has the same comforting feelings of a baked pasta but made a bit lighter thanks to Tuscanini Cauliflower Gnocchi. Using an oven-safe pan or pot cuts down on dishes and keeps this recipe weeknight friendly. You build the sauce in the pan, stir in the uncooked gnocchi, top with cheese, and bake until golden and bubbly. The gnocchi cook gently in the sauce and have the perfect tender and chewy texture. Don’t skimp on the fresh basil – it adds such a great pop of color and flavor! Find more easy, mouthwatering gnocchi dinner recipes here.

Directions

Prepare the One-Pot Baked Gnocchi ala Vodka

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Heat a large oven-safe pot or skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. When oil is hot, sauté shallots, garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and dried herbs for five to seven minutes until softened.

3. Slowly add vodka and stir gently to combine. Let vodka simmer and reduce until one-fourth its original volume. Stir in tomato paste, tomato puree, and heavy cream and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Stir in gnocchi, top with fresh mozzarella and parmesan. Turn off the heat and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
