Ingredients

4 servings

•

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

Instructions

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.
