Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 white onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tins chopped tomato
1tsp sugar
Salt and pepper, to season
A handful of fresh basil, torn
600g fresh gnocchi
125g mozzarella ball, cut into chunks
100g chorizo, diced

Steps:

  • Fry the onion and garlic in 1tbsp of oil over a medium heat until soft and fragrant. Add the chorizo and fry for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the tinned tomatoes along with the sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer then add the gnocchi, cook until soft, about 8 minutes, stirring often to prevent it sticking.
  • Turn on the grill to 200 degrees celsius. Add about 3/4 of the mozzarella and all the basil to the gnocchi and stir well. Divide the gnocchi into individual ramekins, or one dish, and top with the remaining mozzarella.
  • Put the gnocchi under the grill for 3 minutes or until the mozzarella is crisp and bubbling. Serve with green salad.
