Gnocchi & From Scratch Tomato Sauce 

Serves: 3 

Tomato Sauce Ingredients:

• 1kg vine ripened tomatoes, scored around the middle 
• 1/3 cup olive oil 
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled & crushed 
• 1 1/2-2 tsp salt OR to taste 
• Large handful basil leaves, torn 
• Fresh ground black pepper  
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped flat leaf parsley to serve 

Gnocchi Ingredients

• 500g any variety of potato 
• 100g plain flour 
• 1 small egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 50g finely grated parmesan cheese

Tomato Sauce Method:

• Place tomatoes in a large bowl and cover with boiling hot water. Weigh them down with a plate so they are well submerged. 
• Wait for about 10 mins then drain and peel the skins off. Discard skins. Chop the tomatoes roughly and set aside. 
• Combine the oil and garlic in a medium heavy based saucepan over medium heat. 
• Once the garlic starts to sizzle and become fragrant, add the tomatoes with 1 tsp of the salt. 
• Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir from time to time. 
• Cook until thick and the oil comes to the surface. Turn the heat off and stir in the basil leaves. 

Gnocchi Method:

• Place the prepared potatoes in a steamer basket and cook until tender. Immediately pass through a potato ricer, mould or a sieve. Add remaining ingredients and squeeze to combine.
• Flour your work surface and roll the dough into 1cm cylinders. Line up 2-3 cylinders side by side then using a knife or pastry scraper cut into 2cm pillows. Toss in more flour and rest in a single layer in a baking tray. 
• To cook the gnocchi, carefully scoop them and boil them in plenty of salted water until they float.
• Scoop them with a slotted spoon and transfer them directly into the sauce. 
• Spoon some sauce to coat then transfer them onto a plate or bowl to serve. 
• Garnish with roughly chopped flat leaf parsley and a good amount of finely grated Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy!
