Gnocchi Gratin with Meatballs

 

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
300g pack  Free Range Pork Meatballs
350g jar Italian Napoletana Pasta Sauce
500g pack fresh Del’Ugo Potato Gnocchi
125g pack Galbani Santa Lucia Mozzarella, drained
½ x 25g pack fresh basil, roughly torn

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the meatballs for 5-6 minutes, until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Stir in the pasta sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to pack instructions. Preheat the grill to a moderate temperature.

3. Drain the gnocchi and stir into the meatball mixture. Transfer to a heatproof dish then slice or tear the mozzarella into pieces and scatter over the top. Grill for 4-5 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.

4. Garnish with the basil and serve immediately with a fresh salad such as Waitrose Continental Salad.

Cook's tips

Try different tomato sauces, such as Waitrose Italian Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce, for a spicier dish.

Use lightly cooked pasta shapes in place of the gnocchi, if preferred.
