Watch: Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina

About this cooking demonstration

Gnocchi (small dumplings) are an Italian staple, particularly in northern Italy. Soft, pillowy gnocchi coated in a rich, slow-simmered tomato and basil sauce, then finished with melting mozzarella and a sharp sprinkle of pecorino. The result is a comforting balance of sweet tomatoes, fragrant herbs, and creamy, savoury cheese in every bite. They’re usually made with potato, but homemade gnocchi are made from all sorts of ingredients, including spinach, ricotta and pumpkin. This recipe is really quick and easy, and is often a hit with kids.
