- 1 Pack of ready made gnocchi
- For the Sauce:
- 1 tbsp of olive oil or chilli oil

- To Serve:
- Parmasan cheese
- Few fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Add the oil to a pan and warm. Then add the onions, garlic and chilli.
- Once softened add all the other vegetables and cover with a lid
- Once the rest of the vegetables are softened add in the tomato puree and stir until evenly distributed over the vegetables
- Add the tin of tomatoes into the pan and allow to simmer for about 20 mins with the lid covering - if you prefer a thicker sauce you may want to leave the pan uncovered for a while
- Near to when the sauce looks ready cook the gnocchi as the instructions on the packet direct you to (normally boiling for around 3 mins)
- Drain the gnocchi and serve onto plates. Add the sauce on top and sprinkle with some parmasan cheese and a few basil leaves
