Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/2 cup pitted gaeta olives or other large green olives |
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce |
6 quarts salted water |
1 recipe gnocchi |
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese |
5 fresh basil leaves, washed, dried and shredded |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large, deep skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until foaming. Add the olives and cook, stirring, until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Bring the salted water to a boil and then add gnocchi. Cook gnocchi, stirring gently until tender, about 1 minute after they rise to the surface of the pot. Drain the gnocchi.
3. Bring the tomato sauce back to a simmer over low heat. Add the gnocchi and stir gently with a wooden spoon until coated. Stir in the grated cheese and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
