Gnocchi alla Sorrentina

Oftentimes, the most simple dishes hit all the right notes, especially on a day when you need a little cheesy, tomatoey dumpling comfort. Gnocchi alla Sorrentina delivers with a garlic and basil-infused sauce, soft and pillowy gnocchi, and a hefty dose of cheese. Since there are so few ingredients, be sure to source the best tomato sauce and prepared gnocchi you can find, or make your own if you have a little more time. Serve this gnocchi as an easy weeknight dinner with crusty bread and a green salad with vinaigrette. 

Note from the Food & Wine Test Kitchen

For the best cheese pulls, opt for fresh mozzarella in water versus shredded mozzarella. 

Make ahead

Store leftover Gnocchi alla Sorrentina in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat it, stir a few teaspoons of water into the sauce to loosen it slightly before microwaving it or heating it in a saucepan over low heat. Stor frequently until it is heated through.
