I keep thinking up new one pan gnocchi recipes because I keep getting so much good feedback on the ones I have so far. My creamy mushroom and spinach gnocchi has been one of my most popular recipes for a while.

Gnocchi with vodka sauce seemed like a good idea. It’s like penne alla vodka… but with gnocchi. Can’t go wrong with that!

I used half-and-half to make this vegetarian gnocchi recipe a bit lighter. You still get the feel of a cream sauce, but it definitely isn’t quite as heavy on the calories (or tummy) as if you used heavy cream. You could, of course, use heavy cream in here if you prefer, however. I won’t stop ya.

I used the shelf stable gnocchi that you can find in the pasta aisle at grocery stores. You don’t need to pre-cook it – it cooks right in the sauce. This is definitely designed to be a super quick recipe that you can just throw together on a busy weeknight between activities!

As with my other gnocchi recipes, this makes great leftovers. Perfect for work lunches. And it’s the only way you’ll get away with consuming vodka at work. 😉

Instructions 

• Add the olive oil and onion into a deep skillet over medium-high heat and sauté for 5-7 minutes (ok if the onion lightly browns).
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. 
• Add the tomatoes and vodka and let it simmer for about a minute. 
• Stir in the Italian seasoning, half-and-half, and gnocchi. Give it a good stir, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the parmesan and basil. Season with salt & pepper as needed (I was fairly generous with the salt in this recipe) and cook for a couple more minutes to ensure the gnocchi is fully cooked through. Serve immediately.

• The gnocchi will cook right in the sauce - no need to pre-cook it.
