About

Potato gnocchi are easy to make, but you can buy good fresh gnocchi (potato or pasta) in large supermarkets. You will need 500 g. This dish is good baked with a sprinkling of Parmesan on top too, but I like it as here, with the herbs almost raw and brilliant green with the bright red blobs of roasted tomato.
