Cheesy Gnocchi Bake

Today I'll be showing you all how to make a super Cheesy Gnocchi bake. 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
Total Time:1 hour
Servings: 3 people

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Medium sized onion chopped
  • 5 Crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 Tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 100 ml Water
  • Salt
  • Handful of Basil
  • 25 ml Single cream
  • 500 g Gnocchi
  • 2 Balls of mozzarella
  • 100 g Cheddar cheese or Parmesan

Instructions

  • 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℃ until your cheese has melted and is golden and crispy and then enjoy!
