     Title: Gnocchi & Tomato Bake
Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Herbs, Cheese
     Yield: 4 servings

     1 tb Olive oil
     1 md Onion; chopped
     1 lg Red ball pepper; seeded,
          - fine chopped
     1 cl Garlic; crushed
   400 g  (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes
   500 g  (1 lb) pack gnocchi
          Handful basil leaves; torn
   225 g  (8 oz) ball mozzarella; torn
          - in chunks

 Heat grill to high. Heat 1 tb olive oil in a large frying pan, then
 soften 1 chopped onion and 1 finely chopped red pepper for 5 minutes.

 Stir in 1 crushed garlic clove, fry for 1 minute, tip in 400 g
 chopped tomatoes and 500 g gnocchi, then bring to a simmer.

 Bubble for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi
 is soft and the sauce has thickened.

 Season, stir through a handful of torn basil leaves, then transfer
 to a large ovenproof dish.

 Scatter with torn chunks of a mozzarella ball, then grill for 5-6
 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

 NOTE: A classic student dish, pasta bake doesn't have to be the
 cheese-laden vision we imagine on hearing the words. Let cupboard
 staples like pasta and tinned tomatoes be your base, then get
 creative with your favourite vegetables, herbs and creme fraiche
 for a lovely texture with less of the stodge.
