This easy Sausage Gnocchi Bake is a dream one-pan meal ready in under 30 minutes. Pillowy gluten free gnocchi dumplings are cooked in a rich tomato and sausage sauce, covered with cheese and baked to perfection.
If using the oven, preheat to 200C/ Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6. Alternatively you can use the grill instead to brown the cheesy top when it comes to it.
Remove the skins from the sausages using a sharp knife. Place a large frying pan on a medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
Add the sausage to the pan once hot and fry, using a spatular to break the meat up, until it’s browned all over.
Reduce to a medium heat and add the garlic and onion to the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then the herbs and fry again for another minute.
Add the tinned tomatoes, passata, tomato puree and balsamic vinegar. Stir well, bring to the boil then turn down to low. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the gluten free gnocchi, stir to mix and then cover and simmer for another 5 mins. Stir in the basil and remove from the heat.
Pour the gnocchi into an ovenproof dish and top with the grated cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown. Alternatively place the pan under a hot grill and broil / grill until the cheese is bubbling.
