Creamy Gnocchi With Vodka Sauce & Buffalo Bocconcini
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot very finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic very finely chopped
- sea salt pinch
- 3/4 cup tomato paste
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 1 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock is fine
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 500 g packet gnocchi fresh or not is fine
- handful basil leaves fresh
- cracked black pepper
To serve:
- buffalo bocconcini balls you can also use
- parmesan cheese grated
- ricotta cheese fresh
- buffalo mozzarella
- burrata cheese
Instructions
Method:
- Place a large frying pan onto medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt over 1-2 minutes. Add the shallot, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes (watch it doesn’t colour too much). Add the tomato paste and stir through. Then add the vodka and incorporate into the sauce. It should just be bubbling (so the alcohol cooks out). Add the stock after 2 minutes and turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Cook the gnocchi – check the packet for fresh or not. Best to slightly undercook it, as it will continue cooking in the sauce. Drain and set aside.
- Add the gnocchi to the sauce and gently stir it through the sauce. Add fresh basil and pepper. Turn off the heat.
- Serve into bowls and top with your cheese of choice. The creamier the better!!!!
