Gnocchi alla Sorrentina Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Boil the gnocchi in salted hot water for a couple minutes (they are ready when they come afloat), drain them.
  • Place the gnocchi mixed with the tomato sauce and parmigiano cheese in a pan, cover them with the mozzarella finely sliced, more tomato sauce, parmigiano and fresh basil leaves. Bake it at very high temperature (240 C/ 460 F) until all the cheese is melt.
  • Serve them hot in a pasta plate.
  • Wine suggestions: “ Cilento rosato (rose’)”
  • “ Gragnano” della Penisola Sorrentina (Red, 11.5% Alc., fruity) http://www.italianmade.com/wines/doc10234.cfm
  • * For the tomato sauce: brown half an onion in three tablespoons of olive oil, add a can of tomato paste , 5 leaves of fresh basil and a cup of water, let it cook until the water evaporates, remove the onion and basil leaves, salt if needed (the Italian tomato sauce cans are not too salty and additional salt is needed, the American tomato sauce (Hunts) is pre-salted, maybe too much!)

    And if you make them with butter and sage a good wine match would be a white Sauvignon (can you tell I love wine?)

    Mee too!!! One easy way to make them is with butter sage and rosemary. Just put the butter in a frying pan, add three cloves of garlic, sage, rosemary and a pinch of saffron , let the garlic brown and use the sauce to dress your gnocchi. Easy, fast and delicious!
