Chorizo & Mozzarella Gnocchi Bake

Preheat your grill to high.

Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and crushed garlic cloves, sautéing for 8-10 minutes until softened.

Add the diced chorizo to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to release its flavors and slightly crisp.

Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes and add the caster sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Add the fresh gnocchi to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for approximately 8 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.

Stir in three-quarters of the mozzarella chunks and most of the torn basil leaves, reserving some for garnish.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or divide it among individual ovenproof ramekins. Top with the remaining mozzarella.

Place the dish under the preheated grill for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Remove from the grill, scatter the remaining basil over the top, and serve immediately with a side of green salad.
