1 ½ lbs fresh refrigerated gnocchi
1 ½ pints grape tomatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt
Pepper
1 cup BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella Pearls
Balsamic vinegar glaze
10-15 fresh basil leaves, for garnishing
Preheat oven to 450° F.
In a large bowl add gnocchi and tomatoes. Season with olive, salt and pepper. Toss to coat then spread evenly on greased or foil-lined baking sheet.
Roast for 12 minutes. Stir, then continue roasting for about another 15 to 20 minutes until gnocchi is slightly browned, but tender and tomatoes are burst and wrinkly. Remove from oven. Add Fresh Mozzarella Pearls, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze and basil. Serve warm.
Add broccoli rabe, red pepper slices or onions before roasting for a colorful and healthy variation. Or for a meaty version, add precooked sausage cut into ½ inch rounds to the pan before roasting. Try adding additional seasoning like red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, or Italian seasoning to the mix after roasting.
