Notes
Zest it up: A squeeze of lemon juice helps cut through the creaminess of the sauce but you only need a few drops.
Drain the tomatoes well: Make sure you drain the oil off the sun dried tomatoes before chopping and adding them to the gnocchi, or else the sauce will be greasy.
Serve with wine: Marry me gnocchi is wonderful served with a chilled Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc to cut through the rich creaminess. You can add a splash to the sauce too!
