Method
step 1
Blitz the tomatoes, passata, garlic, olive oil, basil, ½ tsp salt and some black pepper in a blender until smooth. Tip the gnocchi into an ovenproof dish, pour over the sauce, then scatter over the mozzarella and parmesan. Dollop over the pesto. If chilling or freezing for later, cover tightly. Will keep chilled for up to three days, or frozen for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before continuing.
step 2
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook the bake for 35-40 mins (uncovering halfway through), or until bubbling and golden brown.
