Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Gnocchi Bake

Leo Hart

Report

A comforting Italian bake doesn't have to involve pasta. Try using gnocchi instead, packing it out with spinach and adding in some sundried tomato paste to give it an extra hit of flavour.

Notes

If you wanted to add meat to this, then leftover shredded chicken or some chopped cooked bacon would work.
If adding other vegetables, make sure they are quick cooking softer vegetables.
You can use any cheese that melts well in this recipe.
Top it with some fresh herbs, extra cheese and a sprinkling of pine nuts.
A little bit of the starch water from the pan added to the sauce makes it lovely and silky, so don't drain all the water.
If you don't have gnocchi, you could make this recipe with any pasta sauce instead - it's a great pasta sauce. It's also a good sauce to pour over chicken or salmon too.
