Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 large zucchini, finely diced
- 1 lb (500g) cherry tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 round of Boursin cheese
- A handful of basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan, grated
Main
- 1 lb (500g) gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large oven dish or sheet pan around 14-inch by 9-inch so the ingredients have room to roast properly without steaming.
- Arrange Ingredients: Place the cherry tomatoes, diced zucchini, sliced garlic, and uncooked gnocchi evenly in the dish. Sprinkle with dried thyme and salt, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over everything. Mix well to coat all ingredients.
- Add Cheese: Make a small well in the center of the ingredients and nestle the round of Boursin cheese there.
- Bake: Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are charred and jammy, the gnocchi edges are golden, and the Boursin cheese looks deeply golden and melted.
- Combine and Finish: Remove from the oven, press down on the softened Boursin and tomatoes with the back of a fork or spoon to create a creamy sauce, then mix through the gnocchi. Scatter chopped basil and grated parmesan on top, mix again, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use a large enough baking dish or sheet pan so the ingredients roast properly without steaming.
- The gnocchi does not need pre-cooking, which saves time and avoids extra pots.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- Fresh basil and parmesan add brightness and a savory finish—don’t skip them.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven or on stovetop with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
