So it's getting to that time in the evening where you're feeling like something extravagant for dinner but you don't have a few hours to prepare a meal or the energy to! This is one of my own recipes, and it is quick and easy to make! You can have the entire meal cooked within 20 minutes! It's a simple and delicious italian dish which everyone will enjoy.
What you will need:
- Half an onion
- A clove of garlic
- Canned tomato and basil
- Paul Newman's tomato and basil sauce
- Cheese (tasty, feta & mozzarella)
- Mixed italian dried herbs
- And of course, Potato Gnocchi
You are more than welcome to make your own potato gnocchi balls from scratch, but for time's sake i'll cut down a few hours of preparation to only 5 minutes cooking time.
First things first: Dice your 1/2 onion and fry until golden brown, then dice your garlic and fry with the onion for a few minutes
Next combine 1 full can of canned tomato and basil and 1 full jar Paul Newman's tomato and basil sauce. Leave this on a low heat.
Boil a pot of water and tip in about half a packet of potato gnocchi. The trick to the perfect gnocchi is leaving it to boil for the perfect amount of time. As soon as the gnocchi rises and floats to the top of the water, grab a strainer and drain the water.
Next, add the gnocchi to the pot of tomato base, add about half a cup of grated tasty cheese and about ¼ of a cup of mozzarella cheese. The add dried herbs. Leave on a low heat and stir for about 5 minutes so the gnocchi can soak up the tomato and herb flavours.
Turn off the heat, add some feta and serve! Easy peasy!
I personally think this gnocchi goes perfectly with some Panini!
