Method

  1. Heat grill to high. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then soften the onion and pepper for 5 mins. Stir in the garlic, fry for 1 min, tip in the tomatoes and gnocchi, then bring to a simmer. Bubble for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is soft and the sauce has thickened. Season, stir through the basil, then transfer to a large ovenproof dish.
  2. Scatter with the mozzarella, then grill for 5-6 mins until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

TIP

You can freeze the bake for up to a month - just defrost and bake in a medium oven for 20-30 mins until piping hot.

    Me and my boyfriend loved this. Made lots of sauce and froze what we didnt use, but I added balsamic vinegar to the onions (used a red one) and used oak smoked garlic (lots) and a little chilli jam, just to make it a little more interesting. Baked for 15 minutes and served with dough balls. Yummy

    Delicious and quite easy to make. I will definitely be making this again. I however don't understand how a 500g pack of gnocchi makes four servings, except if they were supposed to be tiny.

    I added 2 tins of tomatoes, and it was a little dry to 'bubble' in the pan. I'd probably add some spinach next time to make it a little more interesting.

    This went down very nicely for me and my hubby. Added in chicken, chorizo, red wine, Worcester sauce and tomato puree as extras as suggested by a few reviewers and this meal was absolutely delicious! I used two cans of tomatoes instead so the sauce didn't dry out. I cooked the gnocchi separately and added it to the sauce which helped the gnocchi cook properly without going soggy. Also used the whole mozzarella ball which was definitely naughty but nice! Used reduced fat mozzarella for ease the guilt! Also added a sprinkling of mature cheese over the top at the end. I grilled the bake for longer about 10 minutes and found the cheese browned better on top. With all the extras added in, two people got two dinners out of it but if you're feeling greedy you could scoff the lot! Served with leafy Italian salad and tomato and garlic flatbread, yum!

    Quick easy and tasty. Very child friendly too...though I recommend blitzing the sauce before adding the gnocchi to hide tomato/pepper/onion lumps. This is a very filling/comferting dish. Could also be very versatile with different ingredients added!

    Really easy to make! I added a little bit of red chilli, oregano and some parmesan for a bit more flavour. Would only serve 2-3 people

    Worked well for me, though found I had to add some water and wine as 400g of tomatoes didn't seem to be enough. Had it with a nice spinach salad.
