Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Increase heat to medium and add cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, simmering for a couple of minutes until smooth.
  5. Drop gnocchi into boiling water and cook until they float, usually about 2-3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water before draining.
  6. Transfer drained gnocchi to the skillet with sauce, stirring gently to coat, adding reserved water as needed.
  7. Tear fresh burrata into chunks and fold it into the gnocchi along with basil leaves.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with reserved basil leaves.
