Great recipe. We use the leftover sauce for pizza bases, often using the recipe alone just for that.
Delicious. Used frozen spinach and made my own lo-fat ricotta. Mixed the cheese mixture by hand while tomato sauce was cooking. Unfortunately, it only feeds about 2 hungry people! Will be making again, and again. The recipe makes a very generous amount of tomato sauce.
Delicious!
To save time and save having to wash up the thermomix a third time i just mixed the gnocchi mixture in a bowl with a fork while the sauce was cooking.
With the sauce I used pasata and fresh tomatoes instead of tinned.
Shame it only feeds two adults and one kid!
This was such a great dish! Used quinoa flower instead of plain flower. Worked perfectly, will definitely be making again!
Love this one, i used a little less cheese than called for, would probably go a little extra flour as i don't like my gnocchi to soft. Used silverbeat and fresh tomatoes from the garden. I cooked some of my gnocchi in a pot to see if i iprefered it cooked that way over steaming, but steaming came out fantastic, better than boiled as it held together better being steamed. Highly recomend this one!
Loved the gnocchi, I used frozen spinach. Scattered the Gnocchi on the plates and topped it with roasted tomatoes, zucchini and pumpkin, plus a gew leaves of fresh basil and parsley. Absolutely yum...
We made this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. To save time I steamed the spinach on the stove whilst making the tomato sauce. I used 180g baby spinach leaves instead as I didn't have a bunch of English spinach. To save more time I think you could make the gnocci mix first, put it into a bowl and roll it into shape whilst the sauce is cooking. My very particular partner even called it a "restaurant quality dish" - success!
