      Title: Gnocchi & Tomato Bake
 Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Herbs, Cheese
      Yield: 4 servings

      1 tb Olive oil
      1 md Onion; chopped
      1 lg Red ball pepper; seeded,
           - fine chopped
      1 cl Garlic; crushed
    400 g  (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes
    500 g  (1 lb) pack gnocchi
           Handful basil leaves; torn
    225 g  (8 oz) ball mozzarella; torn
           - in chunks

  Heat grill to high. Heat 1 tb olive oil in a large frying pan, then
  soften 1 chopped onion and 1 finely chopped red pepper for 5 minutes.

  Stir in 1 crushed garlic clove, fry for 1 minute, tip in 400 g
  chopped tomatoes and 500 g gnocchi, then bring to a simmer.

  Bubble for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi
  is soft and the sauce has thickened.

  Season, stir through a handful of torn basil leaves, then transfer
  to a large ovenproof dish.

  Scatter with torn chunks of a mozzarella ball, then grill for 5-6
  minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

  NOTE: A classic student dish, pasta bake doesn't have to be the
  cheese-laden vision we imagine on hearing the words. Let cupboard
  staples like pasta and tinned tomatoes be your base, then get
  creative with your favourite vegetables, herbs and creme fraiche
  for a lovely texture with less of the stodge.
