Yield:
Ingredients:
 
400 gm prepared potato gnocchi
    large knob of butter
    freshly grated parmesan to serve
    sauce:
1   onion finely chopped
1 lrg clv garlic crushed
60 ml fruity olive oil
2   400g cans chopped tomatoes
1   salt and freshly ground black pepper
40 ml basil roughly torn
20 ml parsley freshly chopped
Method:
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.



Meanwhile cook the onion and garlic in the oil in a covered pan on the floor of the roasting ovenfor 5 minutes.



Stir in the tomatoes and continue to cook uncovered on the floor of the ovenfor at least 10 minutes or until required.



Add the gnocchi to the boiling water bring back to the boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or as directed on the packet the gnocchi are ready when they float to the top of the pan.



Drain well then return to the pan.



Add the butter and toss the gnocchi around until well coated.



Season the tomato sauce to taste then add the herbs.



Serve the gnocchi on warmed serving plates with the sauce spooned over topped with parmesan.



Best described as little italian potato dumplings gnocchi are now available from supermarkets and grocers. They may be boiled and then served with just butter and parmesan. I opt for a quick tomato sauce recipe which can be used with any number of dishes.



Serves 2
