1kg ready-made gnocchi , boiled in salted water until cooked then drained
100g mozzarella, cubed
fresh basil leaves
Instructions
To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a
large pan then fry the onion until soft and
translucent.
Add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds
before adding the tomatoes.
Allow the tomatoes to cook until they start to
break down then add the passata, bay leaves,
sugar, salt and pepper.
Turn the heat down and allow to gently simmer,
covered, for 30 minutes. Add a splash of water
if you see the sauce cooking down too much.
When the sauce is cooked, adjust the seasoning
and add the fresh basil.
Pre-heat the oven (with grill setting) to
220°c.
Combine the cooked gnocchi with the sauce then
add cubes of mozzarella.
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes
until the cheese has melted.
Remove and top with fresh basil before serving.
