I am very excited to share this 20 minute, one-pot gnocchi recipe that went down great at tonight’s family dinner! Gnocchi is a sort of bite-sized Italian potato dumpling that you can buy fresh from most supermarkets. To make the bake, simply fry an onion, pepper and garlic for a few minutes, add a tin of chopped tomatoes, olives and the gnocchi and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Stir in some torn basil, top with mozzarella and grill until golden! It would be nice with salad on the side too. And I might add spinach to the bake for extra goodness next time. Brilliant!
One-Pot Gnocchi Bake (serves 2-4 people)
Olive or vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped small
1 red pepper, chopped small
2 cloves garlic, crushed
400g can chopped tomatoes
Large handful of black olives, roughly chopped
500g pack of gnocchi (available at most large supermarkets)
Handful of basil leaves, roughly torn
Ball of mozzarella, sliced
Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion, pepper and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly. Add the tomatoes, olives and gnocchi and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, until the gnocchi is tender and cooked (it doesn’t take much to cook it), stirring regularly. Stir in the basil leaves, top with the torn mozzarella and grill until golden. Eat straightway!
