After making homemade gnocchi for the first time a few weeks ago, I'm kind of hooked! This time I didn't go the whole hog by making my own gnocchi, I just used a packet of the pre-made stuff.

If you want a quick dinner recipe, shop-bought is the way to go. Then you just need to add simple, classic Italian flavours to transform your gnocchi into something that's part pizza, part pasta bake - pizza baked gnocchi!

Start with a simple tomato sauce, add your gnocchi, and then top it with some (...lots of...) mozzarella and whatever pizza toppings you fancy, and you end up with a rich gnocchi bake with all the flavours of your favourite pizza.

½ onion, sliced or diced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
250g passata
2tbsp tomato purée
150ml vegetable stock
Black pepper
500g gnocchi

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6 / 400°F).
Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and cook the garlic and onion over a medium-low heat for a few minutes, until soft. Add the dried herbs, passata, tomato purée, stock and plenty of black pepper, and bring to a simmer. Add the gnocchi, and cook for a few minutes.
Transfer the gnocchi and sauce to a baking dish measuring around 8 x 6 inches. Top with plenty of grated mozzarella, and then add your pizza toppings. Add a bit more black pepper if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melty and slightly browned.
Serve topped with plenty of fresh chives.
