This easy skillet gnocchi combines charred corn, blistered tomatoes, and creamy burrata for a dish that’s both impressive and simple to make. Perfect for a summer dinner party or a quick weeknight meal!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears corn, shucked
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb store-bought gnocchi
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 oz arugula
  • For serving: Crushed red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan, burrata cheese, fresh basil

Instructions

1. Grill the Corn

  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan over high heat.
  • Brush each ear of corn with ½ tbsp melted butter.
  • Grill for 5–7 minutes until charred and tender.
  • Cut the kernels off the cobs and set aside.

2. Char the Tomatoes

  • Heat a cast-iron skillet on the grill or stovetop.
  • Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Sauté in the skillet until blistered (about 4 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the Gnocchi

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add gnocchi and cook until they float (4–5 minutes). Drain.

4. Sauté the Aromatics

  • In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter over medium heat.
  • Add red onion and cook until soft (about 4 minutes).
  • Stir in garlic, gnocchi, grilled corn, and tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add arugula and wilt for 3 minutes.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Remove from heat and top with red pepper flakes, Parmesan, burrata, and fresh basil.
  • Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Grill the corn for extra smoky flavor, or use a grill pan if you don’t have an outdoor grill.
  • Don’t overcook the gnocchi—they’re done as soon as they float to the top of the boiling water.
  • Use fresh burrata for the best creamy texture—it melts beautifully over the warm gnocchi.
  • Make it spicy by adding extra red pepper flakes for a kick.
