• 16 oz gnocchi
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 14 oz crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• to taste salt
• to taste pepper
• for serving freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the gnocchi. Stir to ensure all the gnocchi is submerged in the sauce.
4. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top and is cooked through.
5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, dried Italian herbs, and chopped fresh basil. Mix well until creamy and heated through.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
