Gnocchi Sorentino
chef : Cosima


Step 1 : The Sauce
Place all the following ingredients in a pan, and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Passata1 carton
Water1 carton, as passata
Lamb stock cube1 of
Bay leaves2 of
Tomato & Mascapone Sauce500g (from supermarket)
Nutmeg3 pinches
Sugar2 heaped teaspoons

Step 2 : The Gnocchi
Add one packet (400g) of Gnocchi to very salty boiling water (1 heaped teaspoon of salt).

The recommended brand is "Italfresco".

The gnocchi will be done in about 3 minutes. It is done when it floats.
Step 3 : The Mozzerella
Dice up one packet of mozzerella.
I suggest dices just smaller than a single gnocchi ball.
Step 4 : Bringing it all together
Into a baking tray, add :
The sauce
The gnocchi
The mozzerella
A little parmesan

Add the gnocchi carefully, to avoid it sticking.

Place the baking tray into the oven (about 200c) for about 10-20 minutes. This is purely to melt the mozzerella a little.
