Instructions

Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large oven dish or sheet pan about 14 by 9 inches to allow ingredients to roast evenly without overcrowding.
Assemble Ingredients: Arrange cherry tomatoes, diced zucchini, sliced garlic, and uncooked gnocchi evenly in the dish. Sprinkle dried thyme and salt over the top, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss everything gently to combine.
Add Cheese: Create a small well in the center of the mixture and nestle the round of Boursin cheese into the hole.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until tomatoes are charred and jammy, gnocchi edges are golden, and Boursin has turned deeply golden.
Mix and Serve: Remove from oven. Use the back of a fork or spoon to press down the melted Boursin and softened tomatoes, mixing thoroughly into the gnocchi to form a creamy sauce. Sprinkle chopped basil and grated parmesan on top, mix again, divide into plates, and serve hot.

Notes

This recipe does not require pre-cooking the gnocchi, simplifying preparation.
Use a large enough dish or sheet pan to avoid overcrowding, which helps ingredients roast rather than steam.
Feel free to substitute fresh thyme if available for a more vibrant herb flavor.
For extra creaminess, add a splash of cream or milk when mixing the cheese with the gnocchi.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
