Ingredients | What Are Cherry Tomatoes Good For

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large red onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

½ minced red chile pepper

2 pints cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 ½ cups canned crushed tomatoes

1 cup chopped fresh basil

⅔ cup kalamata olives, sliced

1 (16 ounce) package fresh gnocchi

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and chile pepper; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the cherry tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have lost their form and are beginning to make a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.

While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fresh gnocchi, and cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently strain out the gnocchi and place into a serving dish.

Stir the basil and olives into the simmering sauce, and cook for one minute. Pour the sauce over the drained gnocchi and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
