Follow these straightforward steps to prepare your Creamy Tomato Gnocchi with Burrata:
1. Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they float to the surface, they are done. Drain and set aside.

5. Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and mix until well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce, stirring gently to coat each piece in the creamy tomato mixture.
7. Prepare Burrata: Carefully tear the burrata into pieces and add them to the skillet, allowing it to melt slightly into the sauce.
