Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina

Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina. "Alla Sorrentina" simply means Sorrento-style, and this cheesy baked pasta dish is a typical first course dish from the Campania region of Italy (where Naples is located). It starts with a simple homemade pomodoro, lots and lots of cheese and prepared gnocchi. Just pop it in the oven and pull it out before your guests arrive.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a nonreactive dutch oven combine the tomatoes, carrot, onion, basil, parmesan rind and olive oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer, stirring often with a wooden spoon for 40 to 45 minutes or until slightly reduced and the carrot is beginning to become tender. You should have about just about 2 1/4 cups of sauce. Season with the salt. Remove and discard all of the vegetables, herbs and rind from the sauce.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Add the gnocchi and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the mozzarella and the remaining parmesan. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is browned and the sauce is bubbly. Allow the gnocchi to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    Simple even for a beginner chef. Hard not to love cheese and sauce and a what a fun way to make it. Hardest part though is how she kept her fingers so clean when squeezing the tomatoes !?!
