- 8 ounces (227g) Burrata Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Vegetable Broth
- Flavor Builders:
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Shallot, finely diced
- 1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- Seasonings & Spices:

- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- Finishing & Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant. This builds the flavor foundation.
- Build Sauce: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully for your 30 Minute Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata.
- Make Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated. The sauce should become wonderfully smooth and creamy. Ensure it’s gently simmering; avoid boiling to prevent the cream from splitting. This emulsifies the sauce perfectly.
- Cook Gnocchi: Gently add the potato gnocchi directly into the simmering creamy tomato sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and float to the surface. This quick method makes the 30 Minute Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata so fast.
- Finish Dish: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Your incredibly easy 30 Minute Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata is almost ready!
- Garnish & Serve: Carefully place the burrata cheese halves on top of the hot gnocchi. The burrata will begin to melt into luscious pools. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for pure bliss.
