Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce

Ingredients ( servings)

• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 395 g Diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 59 ml Chicken broth or white wine
• 0.25 tsp Italian seasoning
• 455 g Uncooked potato gnocchi
• 56 g Mozzarella (shredded)
• 50 g Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 small handful Fresh basil (torn/sliced)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. Add the oil and butter to a deep skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning to the pan. Stir to combine.
3. Stir in the gnocchi. Cook, stirring fairly often so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. The sauce will thicken as the gnocchi releases starch.
4. Taste the gnocchi, and if it's cooked, stir in the mozzarella, parmesan, and basil until the cheeses melt. Season with salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately.
