Easy to make, this delicious gnocchi dish is the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Creamy, sweet, peppery, and tangy, this sauce makes this pasta dish a delight to have.

If you are a regular on my blog you must be knowing that I love gnocchi. Yes, I love how filling and delicious this potato pasta is.
On weekdays when I look forward to an easy comforting dinner this one-pot gnocchi always comes to my rescue.
Gnocchi is a dry potato pasta that you can find in any grocery store in the pasta aisle. It's simple and really easy to cook.
I love the velvety melt-in-the-mouth texture of the gnocchi. If you have not tried it yet, I will definitely insist on doing so.
I love making different recipes of gnocchi and the fall and winter months are awesome to experiment with those warm flavors.
Sometimes I make Creamy Vegetable Gnocchi Soup or Spinach & Broccoli Gnocchi in Garlic Cream Sauce.
Gnocchi Tomato Soup is one of the most delicious pasta soups you can have.
Soups are a lifesaver in the fall months and after a long day of work, I always prefer to get cozy on the couch with a warm bowl of pasta.
What Type of Sauce Are You Using in This Recipe?
I'm using a wonderfully flavored sauce made of roasted red pepper, tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil leaves. Roasting in fruity olive oil makes this sauce extra flavorful.
Later on, depending on your diet preferences, you can use cream or vegan cheese to make this cheesy.
Personally, I do not like to use cream in this recipe, however, for my kids, I use a little bit, just to give it a creamy touch. I prefer mine without anything.
Believe me, the sauce itself has a robust flavor and you do not need anything with that.
