Creamy Gnocchi with Cherry Tomatoes and Mozzarella
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.

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:
