Step 1

Fill a pot with about 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add gnocchi and dried herbs, and saute 2-4 minutes until gnocchi begins browning on the edges.

Step 5

Transfer gnocchi to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Step 6

Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth to the skillet over medium heat and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Stir in heavy cream, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Simmer 4-5 minutes until sauce is reduced and creamy.

Step 8

Stir in gnocchi, taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with thyme or basil and freshly grated parmesan and serve.
