Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 120 g chorizo, cut into cubes
• 2 x 400g chopped tomatoes
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon caster sugar
• 600gm fresh gnocchi
• 125gm mozzarella cheese ball, cut into pieces
• A small bunch of shredded basil
• Green salad to serve

METHOD

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Fry onion and garlic for 8-10 minutes, until soft. Add chorizo and fry for another 5 minutes. Tip on tomato, sugar and seasoning. Leave the mixture on low heat, add the gnocchi and cook for 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until soft. Heat the grill over high heat.

Step 2

Stir half of the mozzarella cheese and most of the basil through the gnocchi. Divide the mixture over six baking dishes, or place them on a baking dish. Top with the remaining amount of mozzarella, then grill it for 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes golden. Season it, and spread it over the remaining basil, and serve with a green salad.
