Boursin Gnocchi
Ingredients
- 700g package of gnocchi
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 dozen (24) cherry tomatoes
- 1 pack of boursin (Note 3)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Salt & pepper
- 1/2 cup pasta water
- Optional - fresh herbs (basil, sage, parsley)
Directions
- Heat oil, kosher salt, and tomatoes in a pan over medium heat. (Note 1)
- Cook gnocchi in salted water per package directions minus 1-2 min (Note 2). Reserve some pasta water and drain.
- Once tomatoes blister, mash them with a spoon.
- Lower heat, add garlic, and cook until softened.
- Stir in reserved pasta water, then add boursin and melt.
- Mix in gnocchi, simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
- Kosher salt’s large grain helps draw moisture from tomatoes for quicker breakdown.
- Undercook gnocchi slightly; it will finish in the sauce.
- Any Boursin works; we prefer herb & garlic.
