Gnocchi alla Vodka

Ingredients

• 1 pound potato gnocchi
• 2 cups Pasta Belly Vodka Sauce
• ½ cup freshly grated parmesan, plus more for serving
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ½ cup reserved gnocchi water
• Fresh basil
• Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.
2. While the water heats, pour the vodka sauce into a pan and warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Once they float to the surface, reserve ½ cup of the cooking water and drain.
4. Transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the pan with the sauce. Toss gently, adding reserved cooking water one tablespoon at a time until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the butter and parmesan until melted and every gnocchi is thoroughly coated.
6. Serve!
