Another one from Mr T. His obsession with gnocchi continues. It would be prettier if we'd used a mozzarella ball and sprinkled herbs on top but we were hungry.
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 gnocchi
125g mozzarella
Small bunch of basil, torn (we didn't have any so used dried Italian mixed herbs)
Method
Preheat oven to 180C
Heat the oil over a medium heat.
Fry the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the chorizo and fry for 5 mins more.
Tip in the tomatoes and sugar and season.
Bring to a simmer, then add the gnocchi and cook for 8 mins, stirring often, until soft.
Stir ¾ of the mozzarella and most of the basil through the gnocchi.
Divide the mixture between six ovenproof ramekins, or put in one baking dish.
Top with the remaining mozzarella, then oven for 10 mins, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Season, scatter over the remaining basil.
