Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 17-oz package gnocchi
  • 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp fresh basil torn

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly browned.
  • Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Push the mixture to the sides and add remaining oil to the center. Add gnocchi and toss to coat. Let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in broth and cream, stirring everything together. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in Parmesan until melted and creamy.
  • Finish with fresh basil and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth for a fully vegetarian dish.
  • Fresh herbs elevate the flavor, but dried thyme can be used if needed.
  • Serve with a side salad or crusty bread.
