Method
 

Preparation
  1. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Cooking the Sauce
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant for about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 8-10 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
Cooking the Gnocchi
  1. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface, typically 2-3 minutes.
Combining and Serving

  2. Tear the fresh burrata cheese over the gnocchi and tomato sauce, then sprinkle with fresh basil.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce along with the garlic. Ensure the burrata is at room temperature before serving for the best creamy texture.
