Bold, saucy, and unapologetically simple. This is one of those “how is this so good?” meals that comes together in minutes but feels straight out of a trattoria. Store-bought gnocchi and jarred sauce mean dinner is ready in 5 minutes, but the garlic, Parmesan, and burrata take it to restaurant-level comfort. It’s rich, cozy, and effortlessly elegant — perfect for busy nights when you still want something that feels special.

Warm a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic and let it gently sizzle until fragrant and just golden.
Pour in the tomato sauce along with ½ cup of water, stir, and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to loosen and deepen the flavor.
Add the ricotta and spinach–filled gnocchi directly to the sauce. Let them heat through and bathe in the tomato goodness for another 3 minutes.
Finish with freshly grated Parmesan and a final stir until everything is silky and coated.
Serve immediately with torn burrata on top if desired, and a slice of sourdough on the side for scooping every last bit of sauce.

Use high-quality jarred tomato sauce for the best flavor.
Don’t overcook the gnocchi; they should be heated through but still tender.
Serve with a slice of sourdough bread to scoop up the sauce.
If you don’t have burrata, you can substitute with fresh mozzarella or skip it altogether.
Can I use plain gnocchi instead of ricotta and spinach gnocchi?
Yes, plain gnocchi works well too. You can add fresh spinach to the sauce for a similar flavor.
What type of tomato sauce should I use?
Use a high-quality jarred tomato sauce or marinara for the best flavor.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Yes, ensure the Parmesan and burrata are vegetarian-friendly, or use plant-based alternatives.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
Can I freeze this dish?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the sauce separately. Avoid freezing gnocchi as they may become mushy.
