Directions Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add passata and salt, simmer over low heat while you prepare the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Pour 1 ladle of tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Add gnocchi, remaining tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese, toss to combine. Arrange cubes of mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Place baking dish in the oven and broil until mozzarella cheese is melted and sauce has slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with basil leaves before serving.
