Fluffy potato dumplings sautГ©ed for a crispy exterior and tender interior with a simple tomato sauce. I used the oil from the marinated mozzarella ball container for the sauce with great success.

Ingredients

  • olive oil: 0.25 cup
  • refrigerated gnocchi: 2 packages (12 ounce packages)
  • garlic: 3 clove (minced, to taste)
  • red pepper flakes: 0.25 tsp (crushed)
  • salt: 1 pinch
  • sugar: 1 pinch
  • whole Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano): 1 can (28 ounce can)
  • marinated mozzarella balls: 8 ounces
  • parsley or basil: 0 piece (fresh, optional)
