Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese
Ingredients List
-
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
½ onion, finely chopped
-
1 ½ (14.5 ounce) cans passata (crushed tomatoes)
-
salt to taste
-
1 (18 ounce) package potato gnocchi
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 (4 ounce) ball fresh mozzarella, cubed
-
4 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the passata and season with salt. Let it simmer on low heat while you prepare the gnocchi.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in the water until they rise to the surface, about 2 to 4 minutes. Drain the gnocchi.
-
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the oven.
-
Pour a ladleful of tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Add the cooked gnocchi, pour over the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together. Arrange the mozzarella cubes evenly on top.
-
Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook until the mozzarella is melted and the sauce has slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
