A pasta bake of any kind is just the ultimate comfort food and so I decided to switch it up and replace the pasta with some gnocchi. Indulge in the luxurious richness of our Cheesy Gnocchi recipe. This decadent Cheesy Gnocchi is a perfect pairing with luscious whipped Chantilly cream, creating a delightful and satisfying experience for your taste buds.
Ingredients for Cheesy Gnocchi
- 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium sized onion chopped
- 5 cloves of garlic crushed
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 100ml water
- generous amount of salt
- handful of basil leaves roughly chopped
- 25ml of single cream
- 500g gnocchi
- 2 balls of buffalo mozzarella
- optional: 100g of cheddar or parmesan cheese
Method for Gnocchi
- Begin by making the marinara sauce by sautéing the onions and garlic in the olive oil on a medium heat.
- Once slightly charred and golden, add in the tin of tomatoes along with 100ml of water used to wash out what’s left in the can.
- Add in the roughly chopped basil and season generously with salt. Stir and allow to simmer on a medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes or so
- Then add in some chilli flakes, single cream and your cooked gnocchi and give it a stir.
- Transfer the gnocchi into an oven-proof dish and top with buffalo mozzarella and any other cheese of your choice (I chose parmesan & cheddar).
- Place in the grill for 5 minutes at 250 degrees Celsius until your cheese has melted and is golden and crispy and then enjoy!
