Creamy gnocchi with cherry tomatoes is a very simple and tasty first course, for the recipe I was inspired by tortelli with sauce, but in this case, I used fresh cherry tomatoes to give the dish a more summery and pleasant note. Simple and satisfying! Add a mountain of melting cheese of your choice: in my version, I used provola, but you can use mozzarella, scamorza, or spicy provolone, or more simply aged grated Parmesan. Very good are also the gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and taleggio, and I am sure you will also love gnocchi with baked ham. In this recipe, I used ready-made potato gnocchi, but if you prefer, you can make them at home, definitely much better and tastier. Don’t forget to follow me on my Instagram and Facebook pages.
