The gnocchi with pizzaiola sauce is a delicious first course yet very low in fat.
This time I used stuffed gnocchi which made the dish richer, but this sauce will be special even when using dry pasta or simple potato gnocchi.
You will be amazed by this sauce‘s appetizing taste, despite the simple and few ingredients needed to make it.

Ingredients
Let’s see the ingredients we need to prepare this recipe
- 9 tomatoes, ripe, fresh (such as piccadilly)
- 3.5 oz ricotta
- to taste oregano
- to taste fine salt
- 1 pinch sugar
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsps water (pasta cooking water)
Tools
- 1 Immersion Blender
- 1 Pan
- 1 Strainer
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Knife
- 1 Spoon
Steps
Take the tomatoes, they should be nice and ripe, and after washing and cutting them into wedges, put them in a pan together with chopped garlic without the green shoot, salt, EVO oil, sugar, and oregano.
Add one tablespoon of pasta cooking water and cook the tomatoes and other ingredients for about 10 minutes. This sauce does not require long cooking.
Once cooked, transfer the tomato sauce into the immersion blender cup, add the ricotta and a little more pasta cooking water. Blend everything, and when it becomes a creamy texture, transfer it back into the pan.
Meanwhile, you will have cooked the gnocchi or, if you prefer, another type of pasta, even dry, like penne, fusilli, etc…
Once the pasta is cooked, toss it into the pan where we previously cooked the tomato and add the rest of the pizzaiola sauce.
As I always say, are you ready with your forks? You will see that the creaminess of the sauce and the oregano will give this sauce an incredibly appetizing touch.
