Preparation Steps
  1. Boil the gnocchi in a large pot of salted water until they float, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sauté minced garlic in olive oil over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, careful not to burn.
  3. Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once cooked down, add red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; stir in heavy cream until combined.
  5. Drain the gnocchi, reserving ½ cup of cooking water, and mix with the sauce.
  6. Combine the gnocchi and sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed to thin.
  7. Stir in the fresh basil, reserving some for garnish.
  8. Plate the gnocchi and top with broken pieces of burrata cheese and reserved basil.
