In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and let it dance until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika, stirring for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, give it a good stir, and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes. Then, add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Let everything simmer together for another few minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they float to the top, they are ready. Drain and transfer them to the tomato sauce.
Mix the gnocchi gently into the creamy tomato sauce until they are beautifully coated.
Plate the gnocchi mixture and place a glorious ball of burrata right in the center of each serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious Italian flavors!
Make sure the gnocchi is cooked until they float in the water, as this indicates they are done.
For a bit of spice, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers.
Burrata cheese can be replaced with fresh mozzarella if you prefer a different texture.
To enhance the dish, serve with crusty bread for dipping in the creamy sauce.
