Ingredients
- 40ml Extra virgin olive oil (approximately 3 tbs)
- 2 Cloves of garlic, chopped
- 700g Tomato puree (passata) or canned cherry tomatoes
- Handful fresh basil leaves
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- 300g Buffalo mozzarella, torn or cut into cubes
- 60g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 800g Potato Gnocchi (found in the fresh pasta isle)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180ºC (or 160ºC fan forced)
-
In an ovenproof skillet or frying pan, slowly heat the olive oil and garlic. Add the tomatoes and basil leaves, when the garlic is golden.
-
Gently simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
-
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and briefly stir to prevent it sticking together. As soon as the gnocchi float to the surface, boil it for 2 minutes (or follow instructions on packaging).
-
Drain the gnocchi and add to the tomato sauce. Add half of the mozzarella and gently mix to ensure the gnocchi is coated in the sauce.
-
Transfer to an ovenproof dish if you used a frying pan. Top with the rest of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. And Bake for 20 minute, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
