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.
