Gnocchi according to the mighty Wikipedia, is a variety of pasta. It consists of various thick, small, and soft dough dumplings. Gnoccis can be made from semolina, ordinary wheat flour potato breadcrumbs cornmeal or similar ingredients.
Ingredients (Serves 4+)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 large red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 400g can chopped tomatoes (Passata is better)
- 750g pack vegan gnocchi
- Optional: 120g vegan chick’n*
- 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
- Grated cheddar alternative
- a handful of basil leaves, torn half a
- 125g ball vegan mozzarella, torn into chunks
( *Recommendation: Taste & Glory Roast Tenderstrips)
Instructions:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan, add onions and stir for a minute, add peppers and cook for further 3 minutes. Add the optional vegan chick’n and fry for a few more minutes, add the chopped tomatoes/passata and the garlic. Tip the gnocchi and stir.
Now it’s time to turn the oven on.
Pro tip: If you prefer a milder garlic flavour, add it after the onions but before the olives and fry until it is light brown.
Bring the contents to boil over medium heat, bringing it to a simmer. Add the basil and two-thirds of the mozzarella chunks, stir and transfer immediately to an ovenproof dish and cover it with uniformly distributed cherry tomato halves and the vegan chicken ( if using). Add the remaining mozzarella and grated cheddar. Bake until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Serve with a green salad. (Goes well with garlic bread)
