This quick and easy midweek dinner is a real crowd pleaser. Combining sausages with gnocchi is a great start, but when you add the classic trio of Italian flavours – tomato, basil and mozzarella – the results turn into something even better.

Method
- Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6. Put the sausages in a large oven dish and cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp oil in a pan over a medium heat, then add the sliced garlic and cook until just soft. Pour in the passata, season with a pinch of salt and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, then fry the gnocchi until golden and crisp, tossing every now and then to get even colouring.
- Roughly tear the basil leaves, then stir into the tomato sauce. Slice the cooked sausages into pieces roughly the same size as the gnocchi, then add to the sauce along with the crispy gnocchi. Give it a good stir to combine, season with plenty of salt and pepper, then pour into the oven dish and top with the torn mozzarella. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, then leave to sit for 5 minutes before serving up hot.
