    • 1 x onion finely minced
    • 1 lrg clv garlic crushed
    • 3 Tbsp. fruity extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 x 400g cans minced tomatoes
    • 1 x salt and freshly grnd black pepper

    1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
    2. Meanwhile cook the onion and garlic in the oil in a covered pan on the floor of the roasting ovenfor 5 min.
    3. Stir in the tomatoes and continue to cook uncovered on the floor of the ovenfor at least 10 min or possibly till required.
    4. Add in the gnocchi to the boiling water bring back to the boil and cook for 2 to 3 min or possibly as directed on the packet the gnocchi are ready when they float to the top of the pan.
    5. Drain well then return to the pan.
    6. Add in the butter and toss the gnocchi around till well coated.
    7. Season the tomato sauce to taste then add in the herbs.
    8. Serve the gnocchi on warmed serving plates with the sauce spooned over topped with parmesan.
    9. Best described as little italian potato dumplings gnocchi are now available from supermarkets and grocers. They may be boiled and then served with just butter and parmesan. I opt for a quick tomato sauce recipe that can be used with any number of dishes.
