Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2.2 lbs gnocchi (1 kg)
  • 18 oz peeled tomatoes (2 cans - 500 gr)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Basil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 10.5 oz fresh mozzarella (300gr)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 425°F (220°C) and put some salted water to boil in a big pot to cook your gnocchi.
  • Prepare the sauce: mince the garlic with a garlic press and put it in a pot with abundant extra virgin olive oil. Turn the heat on until golden.
  • Cut the peeled tomatoes and pour them in. Add salt, pepper and the basil. Let the sauce cook for 10 minutes.
  • As soon as the salted water boils, pour in the gnocchi and wait until they float before draining them.
  • Add the gnocchi and the sauce to an oven pan, then half of the mozzarella and a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese.
  • Stir well, and add the remaining mozzarella and a layer of parmesan cheese on top before putting everything in the oven.
  • After approximately 10 minutes your gnocchi will have an inviting cheese crust.
  • Take your gnocchi alla Sorrentina out of the oven, serve them and enjoy!
