Gnocchi With Marinara Sauce

This gnocchi with marinara sauce recipe from @saltandlavender uses our gnocchi kit to make delicious homemade gnocchi, and it’s topped with a quick from-scratch marinara sauce.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (8.82-ounce) package DeLallo Gnocchi Kit
• 1/2 medium onion chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or water
• 1 (28-ounce) can DeLallo San Marzano-Style Crushed Tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional
• 3 sprigs fresh basil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• For serving: more fresh basil (torn) and freshly grated parmesan cheese optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Add the olive oil and onion to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Add in the wine, crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, and give it a good stir. Gently add the whole sprigs of basil in. Reduce the heat (to low or medium-low) and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Meanwhile, boil a large, salted pot of water for the gnocchi, and prepare the gnocchi according to the package directions.
5. Give the marinara sauce a taste, remove the basil sprigs, and season with plenty of salt & pepper as needed. If you prefer the sauce to be a little sweeter, you can stir in a pinch of sugar. Serve the gnocchi with the marinara sauce spooned over top. Optional: serve with extra basil and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
