Ingredients
- 800 grams potato gnocchi
- 800 grams tomato puree
- 200 grams fresh mozzarella
- 100 grams Parmigiano-Reggiano grated
- ½ onion
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390°F | 200 °C.
- Drain all the excess liquid from the mozzarella and cut into cubes. Place the mozzarella in a colander in the sink so that it continues to drain any excess liquid.
- Put a large pot of salted water on to boil to cook the gnocchi.
- To make the tomato sauce, start by peeling and finely chopping half an onion. In a large skillet or saute pan, pour a drizzling of extra virgin olive oil and place oven medium heat, then add the onion and saute until golden.
- Next, add the tomato puree and season with salt. Cook the tomato sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon so that it does not stick to the bottom and burn.
- Turn off the heat before the tomato sauce thickens too much and add the fresh basil. Do not chop it, but leave the basil leaves whole.
- When the water is boiling you can add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water. Boil the gnocchi for 2 minutes or until they rise to the surface, but be sure not to overcook the gnocchi as they will turn to mush. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer directly into an ovenproof baking dish.
- Drizzle the potato gnocchi with tomato sauce and add half the mozzarella cheese cubes at a time and then fold in and repeat until you have used it all. Do not stir too much as you don’t want the mozzarella to form a blob and stick together, but instead you want it to be distributed throughout the dish and melt while baking.
- Finally, sprinkle the gnocchi alla Sorrentina with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F | 200 °C for 10-15 minutes, until the Parmesan cheese turns golden and the mozzarella is melted.
- Serve the baked gnocchi immediately while still hot by removing a single portion and putting on an individual plate. You can decorate the plate with fresh basil leaves if desired.
