Garlic Butter Gnocchi with Cherry Tomatoes

Garlic Butter Gnocchi is amazing. I can’t think of a better way to describe it, because frankly, it’s what dinner dreams are made of. At least mine are anyways – little fluffy potato pasta clouds, coated in rich garlic butter sauce, with fresh basil, bursting tomatoes, and a pinch of sea salt – yes please! All the flavors work so perfectly together to make every bite simply delicious.

This recipe can be made with fresh or packaged gnocchi. Of course fresh is always best, but packaged gnocchi makes this recipe super simple and quick – just fifteen minutes to have a beautiful, delicious gnocchi dish on the table!
