  4. Drain the gnocchi and add to the tomato sauce together with the mozzarella cheese and stir gently.
  5. Scatter with Parmesan cheese and basil leaves and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Homemade Gnocchi

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 15 minutes or until tender and then peel while still hot.
  2. Put the potato through a potato ricer or mash with a fork until smooth.
  3. Lightly mix in the egg and flour taking care not to beat too much.
  4. Roll the dough into a long sausage shape, then using a sharp knife cut each roll into 1cm pieces, pushing the knife away from you as you cut.
  5. Push the back of a fork into each gnocchi if you would like to decorate them.
  6. Boil in salted water until each gnocchi comes to the surface.
  7. Drain and serve..
