Gnocchi alla Sorrentina Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces/400g) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 ounces (225g) fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Recipe Instructions:

Cook the potato gnocchi according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant and golden.
Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Simmer the tomato sauce for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Gently toss the gnocchi in the sauce until they are coated evenly.
Transfer the gnocchi and sauce to a baking dish. Distribute the diced mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake the gnocchi alla Sorrentina in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
