4. 4

   Add the tomato paste and briefly sauté it to develop a rich roasted flavor.

   Deglaze with the vegetable broth and cream.

7. 7

   Season with salt and pepper, oregano, and sweet paprika.

   Cover and simmer the one-pot dish over low to medium heat for about 5–10 minutes, until the gnocchi are cooked and the sauce becomes nicely creamy.
