Baked Gnocchi Sorrentina

A classic Italian favourite - by Silvia Colloca
  • 03 Apr 2018
Baked Gnocchi Sorrentina
Mutti Parma
Serves 4
Proudly supported by

Everybody loves gnocchi and this classic recipe comes from the heart of world-renowned Italian chef Silvia Colloca.

Ingredients

For the gnocchi

450g full-cream ricotta

2 egg yolks

1/2 teaspoon salt flakes

1 pinch freshly ground white pepper

100-120g Plain flour, plus extra for dusting

2/3 cup (50g) freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

5-6 basil leaves, finely shredded 

For the sauce

2 x 400g tins of Mutti Cherry Tomatoes

2 shallots, finely chopped

4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove, skin on, bashed with back of a knife

1 small celery stick, finely chopped

Salt flakes, to taste

For the topping

A handful of basil leaves

1 cup of bocconcini

Freshly grated parmesan cheese  

Method

  1. Heat oil in a large heavy-based frying pan. Fry the shallots, celery and the garlic on medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the shallots turn translucent and slightly golden and the garlic smells fragrant.

  2. Add the Mutti Cherry Tomatoes, season with salt and cook on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Turn off the heat and add the celery and basil leaves. Cover with a lid and set aside.

  4. In the meantime, make the gnocchi. Discard any excess liquid from the ricotta and put it in a large mixing bowl with the egg yolks, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.

  5. Add the flour and work with floured hands or a wooden spoon until you have smooth soft dough – it should be pliable and a little sticky but not too wet.

    Don’t be tempted to add lots of flour to make it easier to work the dough, as the resulting gnocchi will almost certainly be dense and doughy.

  6. Flour your hands and cooking bench generously and divide the dough into 6 pieces. Take 1 piece, sprinkle it with flour and roll it with your hands to form a log.

  7. Cut the log into small rectangles and set aside on a floured wooden board.

  8. Repeat with the remaining dough.

  9. Turn the heat back on under the tomato sauce on low and preheat your oven to 200 C.

  10. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and drop the gnocchi into the pan, in two or three batches, stirring gently.

  11. Cook for 1–2 minutes or until they come up to the surface, lift them out with a slotted spoon and drop them straight into the pan with the tomato sauce. Repeat until all the gnocchi is cooked. Coat them well in the sauce.

  12. Place the gnocchi and sauce in a large oven safe dish. Distribute the Bocconcini evenly, grate parmesan on top and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the gnocchi looks bubbly and irresistible.

  13. Serve with basil leaves and drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.
