Tomato and Mozzarella Gnocchi

METHOD

1. Boil the potatoes in their skins. Leave them to cool and peel them.

2. When they are completely cold mash them thoroughly.

3. Create a well in the centre of the mash and add the flour, egg and nutmeg and knead until combined. No not knead too much as it must not become elastic.

4. Cut the dough into sections and roll into sausages. Cut into Gnocchi pieces.

5. For the sauce cook 1 clove of garlic with the herbs.

6. Roast the cherry tomatoes.

7. Add the cherry tomatoes to the garlic and add in the roasted cherry tomatoes.

8. Boil off the excess liquid until a thick sauce.

9. Cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water - when they float, they are ready to drain.

10. Add the gnocchi to the sauce, top with mozzarella and pop until the grill until the cheese has melted.
