Our Authentic Gnocchi alla Sorrentina Recipe

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat

Add crushed garlic cloves and brown until oil is fragrant; be careful not to burn the garlic

Cover and simmer on low to medium heat for 40 minutes until thickened. The sauce should be thick and shiny

Cook the gnocchi in salted, boiling water until they float (generally around 2-3 minutes) 

Once cooked, drain the gnocchi and toss with the tomato sauce then gently mix in the fresh mozzarella 

Spoon into several individual-sized oven dishes, such as ramekins, or a single large baking dish 

Top each with the grated Parmigiano Reggiano 

Place in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano have melted 

Sprinkle with fresh basil. Buon appetito! 

Mix in the chopped basil and remove from heat
