30-minute cheesy tomato gnocchi bake

Ingredients:
  • 500g fresh gnocchi
  • 1 tbsp SPAR Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 red onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
  • 1x400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 pinch of sugar
  • 200g spinach, chopped
  • 1x125g mozzarella ball
  • To serve - Garlic Bread
Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan /gas mark 6.
  2. To prepare the gnocchi, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the gnocchi. The gnocchi will float to the surface once cooked. Once this happens, drain and transfer into a large ovenproof dish and set aside.
  3. To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion for five minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
  4. Add the tinned tomatoes, dried oregano and lemon zest, seasoning with salt, black pepper and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for five minutes, then stir in the spinach. Cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  5. Pour the sauce over the gnocchi, stirring a little to combine. Tear the Mozzarella into pieces and scatter over the top of the dish. Season with some extra black pepper, then bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve with garlic bread.
