Ingredients

  

Gnocchi

• 500 g Boiled Sweet Potato
• 150 g Flour (1 cup and 2 tbsp)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 40 g Parmegiano (You can add more if you like)

For the Dish

• 3 tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 Cloves Garlic
• 0.25 tsp Chili Flakes (More if it's only for adults)
• 300 g Cherry Tomatoes
• 200 g Burrata Cheese
• 1 Handful Basil Leaves
• 1 Pinch Salt
• 1 Pinch Pepper

Instructions

 

• Boil the sweet potatoes until soft and then peel and smash them until they’re fine. This ikea tool comes in very handy here.
• Add the salt, Parmegiano, and flour. Mix everything with your hands until they come together in a dough.
• Portion it into 4 pieces and roll each one with your hand into a thin log with some flour if needed. Cut them into 2 cm pieces and dust with a bit of flour. Set aside while you make the sauce.
• Slice the garlic thinly. Then in a large pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil and cook the garlic and chili flakes for 2 minutes then add the cherry tomatoes. While they cook, boil the gnocchi in a pot of hot water. Do this in 2 batches so you don’t overcrowd them pot. They cook very quickly, as soon as they float, scoop them out with a sieve and add them to the other pan. Add half a cup of the gnocchi water and mix well, adding salt and pepper to taste. The pepper really shines here, especially if it’s freshly cracked.
• Move the pan off the heat, add the burrata, the remaining tbsp of olive oil, and some basil leaves. Enjoy!

Notes
