Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool, then peel and mash them.

  2. 2

    Make the Gnocchi Dough

    In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add more flour.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a rope shape. Cut into small pieces and press with a fork to shape.

Tomato Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    Grill the sliced bell pepper and zucchini until charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Halloumi Preparation

  1. 6

    Sear the Halloumi

    In a skillet, add a bit of olive oil and sear the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float. Drain and add to the tomato sauce. Serve topped with grilled vegetables, seared halloumi, and fresh basil.
