Cheesy tomato gnocchi with chorizo, a comforting midweek bake.
6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 120g chorizo, diced
- 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 600g fresh gnocchi
- 125g mozzarella, ball, cut into chunks
- small bunch basil, torn
- green salad, to serve
Method
- Heat the oil in a medium pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion and garlic for 8-10 mins until soft, then add the chorizo and fry for 5 mins more. Tip in the tomatoes and sugar and season. Bring to a simmer, add the gnocchi and cook for about 8 mins, stirring often, until soft. Heat the grill to high.
- Stir three-quarters of the mozzarella and most of the basil through the gnocchi. Divide between six ovenproof ramekins or one baking dish, top with the remaining mozzarella and grill for about 3 mins until melted and golden. Season, scatter over the remaining basil and serve with green salad.
