Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Gnocchi

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the potato gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it.

  2. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned whole tomatoes, crushing them with a spoon as you add them. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add fresh basil leaves, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

    Once the sauce has thickened, gently fold in the cooked gnocchi until they are well-coated.

  2. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Transfer the gnocchi and sauce mixture to a baking dish.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    Tear the mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute evenly over the top. Grate the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the mozzarella.

  4. 8

    Bake the Dish

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your Gnocchi alla Sorrentina!
