Crispy Gnocchi with Burst Cherry Tomatoes

Step by step

Method

1. 01

   Heat half the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 02

   Add the gnocchi straight from the packet in a single layer and fry for 6 to 8 minutes, turning now and then, until golden and crisp. Move them to a plate.

3. 03

   Add the remaining oil, the cherry tomatoes, and the salt to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan, until the tomatoes blister and start to burst.

4. 04

   Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, pressing a few tomatoes with a spoon to release their juices.

5. 05

   Return the gnocchi to the skillet, take it off the heat, and toss in the basil.

6. 06

   Top with the torn mozzarella and serve straight away.
