Instructions

Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions until they float. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the broth and heavy cream, stirring until combined.
Bring to a gentle simmer, then whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the chili crisp and lemon juice.
Add the cooked gnocchi and gently toss until evenly coated in the sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Tear the burrata into pieces and place it over the hot gnocchi.
Allow the burrata to soften for 1-2 minutes.
Finish with fresh basil, extra chili crisp, and freshly cracked black pepper before serving.

Notes

Pan-sear the cooked gnocchi for a crisp exterior before adding the sauce if desired.
Adjust the amount of chili crisp to your preferred spice level.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
Add spinach or roasted cherry tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
