Yield 4-6 servings
I love the TJ's frozen gnocchi, but we're going to jazz it up a bit here. If gnocchi is out, substitute any pasta you like (frozen or fresh). Just make sure to cook dried pasta.
Tortellini work really well in this dish!
Ingredients
6 cloves garlic, sliced
1 big pinch red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 28-oz can whole, peeled San Marzano tomatoes
1-2 pkg frozen gnocchi in sauce
1 cup ricotta
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a medium saucepan over low, saute garlic with red pepper flakes and oil for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, but not burned.
- Add canned tomatoes, fill can with water ¼ of the way to gather any leftover pulp and pour into saucepan.
- Remove from heat, puree in a blender and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a baking dish, pour 2 cups red sauce to cover the bottom of the dish, add gnocchi mixture to the center, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, ricotta and parmesan and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until bubbling.
