Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, grated, minced, or very thinly sliced
6 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup vodka
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth or water
1 teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)
2 DeLallo Gnocchi Kits
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese balls
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
fresh parsley or basil

Steps

1
Heat butter in a large oven-safe pan over medium low heat. Add garlic; sauté for 5 minutes until soft (don’t brown it). Add tomato paste; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add vodka; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add cream, broth, and salt. Bring to a low simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon and tastes delicious. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Prep the gnocchi according to package directions. Add to the sauce in the pan, and stir gently to combine.
3
Preheat the oven to the broil setting (500 degrees). Arrange mozzarella balls over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake for 5-8 minutes until very browned and slightly crisped on top. Sprinkle with parsley or basil leaves and serve with a crisp green salad because DANG this is creamy, cozy, and ridiculous.
