Gnocchi cooked right in a creamy vodka tomato sauce, with no pot of water.

Warm in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat:

1 tablespoon olive oil

Add the onion and sauté about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until softened:

1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

Stir in:

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Cook about 1 minute more, just until fragrant.

Stir in:

28 ounce can crushed tomatoes

3 tablespoons vodka

Season to taste with:

salt and pepper, to taste

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it bubble for about 1 minute. Then lower the heat to medium. It should settle at a gentle simmer. Stir in:

1 pound potato gnocchi

Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes. Then remove the lid and stir in:

1/2 cup heavy cream

Cook for 1 minute more, until the cream is just warmed through. (Take care not to cook for too long or the sauce may separate.) Serve with shaved Parmesan and slivered fresh basil:
