Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook gnocchi according to package instructions minus 1 minute cooking time (reserve 1/3 cup cooking water).

  2. In a large pan add the olive and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes but do not burn.

  3. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook stirring occasionally, until half the tomatoes open and break down, about 10 minutes (slightly mash the open tomatoes with your wooden spoon).

  4. Season with piri seasoning, paprika, salt/pepper.

  5. Stir in heavy cream, then add drained gnocchi, reserved pasta water and toss continuously until the sauce has thickened for about 2 minutes. Finally stir in the fresh basil.

  6. Break burrata balls into pieces and place over pasta.

  7. Remove skillet from heat and serve with extra chopped basil on top. 

  8. Enjoy!

Note

Piri Seasoning is a mixed seasoning of dried chillies, onion, garlic, chilli powder, oregano, basil, orange & lemon peel, red/green bell peppers, salt & pepper. It can be used with chicken, fish and meat dishes. If you are not able to find it substitute with chilli flakes or powder.
