This recipe is my all time favourite after a busy day in the office. It can be made in a few minutes. The home made tomato sauce and filling potato gnocchi gives instant comfort. If you have extra time, I recommend simmering the sauce for a little longer to lift it to the next level.

Instructions

• Add the chopped tomatoes, Italian herbs, garlic, smoked paprika powder and chili flakes to a pot. Simmer on low to medium heat
• Boil a pot on water, add salt to taste
• Once the water boils, turn the heat off and add the Gnocchi
• Cook the Gnocchi following the instructions on the pack, undercooking is better than overcooking
• Add the gnocchi to the pot with your sauce
• Stir and let everything simmer on low heat for a few minutes
• Add the mozzarella after serving

Ways to make it better

• Use fresh garlic and herbs
• Add veggies, I add cubes paprika for crunch and finely chopped onion for flavour
• If you have time, let the sauce simmer on low heat for a deeper flavour. 30 min makes a big difference.
