Method

  1. Heat a glug of olive oil in a shallow flameproof casserole, then fry the quartered mushrooms for 5-6 minutes over a medium-high heat until browned. Add the garlic and chopped sage, then cook, stirring, for another minute.
  2. Pour in the chopped tomatoes plus half a tomato tin of water and the balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until thickened. Stir in the gnocchi and cook for 5 minutes or until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the grill to high. Scatter the grated cheese over the gnocchi. Brush the reserved sage leaves with a little oil, then scatter on top of the cheese. Pop the casserole under the grill for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.

Quick wins & tips

Next time, swap sage for basil and mushrooms for sliced peppers or leeks.

Make Ahead

If making ahead, add the gnocchi in step 2 but don’t cook it at all. Scatter the cheese over the pasta bake, then cover and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Heat in a 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 oven for 25-30 minutes until piping hot and golden on top.

Absolutely gorgeous. Easy to cook (I added some oregano for extra taste) and beautifully unctuous. Perfect winter food.
