Gnocchi alla sorrentina – oven baked gnocchi in tomato sauce and mozzarella

December 16, 2017 by Kalle Leave a Comment

oven baked gnocchi in tomato sauce and mozzarella

This oven baked gnocchi in tomato sauce and mozzarella is so simple and so delicious that we have started to keep both gnocchi and mozzarella in the fridge all the time.

It is actually a classic Campanian summer dish called “gnocchi alla sorrentina”, or potato gnocchi in the manner of Sorrento.

Even though it takes roughly 40 min from start to finish it is only 10 minutes of active cooking and the 30 min in the oven makes it a perfect weeknight dinner recipe.

It will probably work with just half the mozzarella and you can also try baking it shorter in the oven, but then you don’t get that nice crispy cheese crust.

Here you can find this recipe in swedish.
