🍳 Recipe Information
Crispy Gnocchi With Burst Tomatoes and Mozzarella
Pan-fried gnocchi is like a faster version of baked pasta. Store-bought gnocchi can simply be browned in a pan for an exciting mix of crispy outsides and chewy middles, no boiling required. This dish is studded with juicy tomatoes and melty pockets of mozzarella. Cherry tomatoes are reliably more flavorful year-round than larger, more watery varieties like beefsteak and heirloom. (That said, taste yours, and if they’re more tart than sweet, add 1/2 teaspoon sugar in Step 2.) Toss the tomatoes with browned butter, red-pepper flakes and garlic, then hit them with a little heat, and they’ll burst into a bright sauce. Stir in the gnocchi, dot with mozzarella, then broil until the cheese is molten and the tomatoes are blistered in spots.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 2 (12- to 18-ounce) packages shelf-stable or refrigerated potato gnocchi
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 pints small tomatoes, such as cherry, grape or Sungold
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced or torn basil leaves (optional), plus more for serving
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut or torn into 1/2-inch pieces
Instructions:
- Heat the broiler with a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- In a large (12-inch) skillet on the stovetop, heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (about 1 tablespoon) over medium-high. Add half the gnocchi to the pan, breaking up any that are stuck together. Cover with a lid or baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi and olive oil.
- Add the butter to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring often, until golden-brown and toasty, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, reducing the heat slightly if necessary to avoid scorching. Add the tomatoes and 3 tablespoons water and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and the liquid has slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Smash the tomatoes as they burst to help them along.
- Add the seared gnocchi and 1/4 cup basil (if using), stir to coat, then shake into an even layer. Top with the mozzarella and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with more basil, red-pepper flakes and black pepper as desired.

Leave them uncovered and constantly toss them while searing to achieve the \"golden brown\" color. Take the pan OFF the heat when browning the butter.

Otherwise, a simply stellar dish that is easy and delicious. A \"go-to\" dish.",

"reviewBody": "Terrific recipe! Halved it for the two of us but won't make that mistake again - will look forward to leftovers next time, if I don't cook it for company, whenever that can happen again. Used grape toms, 5 cloves of garlic and all 8 ounces of mozzarella. The burst toms made such a flavorful sauce! My wife says it's perfect but requested more toms and it might do well with some capers and maybe some olives. I'll update this note next time. MAKE THIS RECIPE!",

"reviewBody": "First of all great recipe! I have made this 3 times in 2 1/2 weeks per my wife’s request! I have modified each time slightly (except for the first time). Toast gnocchi in butter, 2 tablespoons per batch. Extra garlic, think 6-8 cloves depending on size as others have mentioned. Fontina and Parmesan cheese instead of the fresh mozzarella (it is less chewy and seems to go with rest of the dish better). I added previously grilled and sliced Italian sausage and was awesome!",

I had no cherry toms, nor basil, but a friend who's opening a new restaurant in the next town stopped by to gift us a quart of his drop dead pasta sauce. So, after the garlic and pepper flakes went into the frying pan, so did a half pint of the sauce. Added back the gnocchi two minutes later, followed with the mozz under the broiler. Quick! Delish!

"description": "Pan-fried gnocchi is like a faster version of baked pasta. Store-bought gnocchi can simply be browned in a pan for an exciting mix of crispy outsides and chewy middles, no boiling required. This dish is studded with juicy tomatoes and melty pockets of mozzarella. Cherry tomatoes are reliably more flavorful year-round than larger, more watery varieties like beefsteak and heirloom. (That said, taste yours, and if they’re more tart than sweet, add 1/2 teaspoon sugar in Step 2.) Toss the tomatoes with browned butter, red-pepper flakes and garlic, then hit them with a little heat, and they’ll burst into a bright sauce. Stir in the gnocchi, dot with mozzarella, then broil until the cheese is molten and the tomatoes are blistered in spots.",
