You’ve certainly noticed, I’m in my gnocchi period! And as the good weather is starting to reappear, I wanted to try a summer recipe. Here is a recipe for Creamy Gnocchi with Cherry Tomatoes and Mozzarella.

Homemade gnocchi: my rustic version

For this recipe, I made homemade gnocchi. If you don’t have time, you can just use ready-made gnocchi.

To save a little time when preparing homemade gnocchi, you can opt for what I call the rustic version: that is to say that the gnocchi have a less uniform shape, a little random.

Creamy Gnocchi with Cherry Tomatoes and Mozzarella

To form the rustic gnocchi, simply form small sausages with the gnocchi dough and cut this sausage into small sections of about 1 cm. No need then to give them a nice shape, just cook them immediately in boiling water. This is the technique I used for this recipe.

However, you can also make traditional gnocchi by following my recipe:
