Servings: 4 People
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic Peeled and crushed
- 1 Large Onion Peeled and finely chopped
- 700 g Passata The type with added Italian herbs if possible
- 1 tsp Honey
- 80 g Baby spinach
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 800 g Fresh gnocchi
- 300 g Mozzarella cheese
Optional:
- 25 g Fresh basil
- Freshly grated Parmesan to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200℃/400F fan, 220℃/425F or Gas Mark 7.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan (one that can go on the hob and also in the oven).
- Add the garlic and onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the passata, honey, spinach, salt and pepper and the gnocchi. (Also add the fresh basil if you're using, reserving a few leave to garnish).
- Stir everything (whilst still on the heat) for about 5 minutes until combined and the spinach is starting to wilt.
- Top with the drained mozzarella cheese, pulled into chunks.
- Put the pan into the oven for about 15 minutes until the cheese is delicious and golden and bubbling.
- Top with some fresh basil if you have some.
Notes
- Use passata with Italian herbs in to add extra flavour if you can.
- If your jar of passata is slightly smaller, don't worry.
- This dish will be quite saucy, we like it like that to dunk garlic bread in. If you prefer it less runny, use less passata.
- Add some grated parmesan to serve if you like.
