Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

750g cherry tomatoes - cut in halves
3-4 garlic cloves - finely chopped
1-2 teaspoons red peppercorn - coarsely crushed
Salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
125g mozzarella - coarsely chopped
1 bunch basil - coarsely chopped
800g homemade gnocchi
2 teaspoons balsam vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Prepare your gnocchi as to the instructions here. The recipe is fantastic and really easy to make ahead. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease an oven-proof dish or a baking tray with some olive oil. In a bowl toss together the crushed pepper and garlic with the tomato halves, sugar and salt. Place the tomatoes in the dish and caramelize in the oven for approx. 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they do not burn. Once ready take out and sprinkle with the balsam vinegar. Immediately mix with the cooked gnocchi. Add the mozzarella and basil leaves, toss gently and serve in warm plates. Enjoy with a nice chilled white wine.
