Smoky Sausage & Mozzarella Gnocchi Traybake

Cook the sausages

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
• Drizzle the sausages with a little oil then toss well to coat. Add the sausages to a large oven dish (that’s big enough to fit all the ingredients) and cook in the oven for 8 mins.

Pimp the passata & prep the gnocchi

• Meanwhile, let’s flavour bomb your passata! Pick the basil leaves and set aside for when you finish the dish. Finely chop the basil stalks.
• In a bowl mix together the passata with the chopped basil stalks, paprika, dried oregano, garlic granules and balsamic vinegar. You could add some chilli flakes, if you’re feeling a little spicy.
• Boil a kettle, then add the gnocchi to a bowl of boiling water, leave for 3 - 4 minutes, then drain.

Cook the dish

• Remove the sausage tray from the oven and slice the sausages up into bite-sized pieces (you can sprinkle them with a little extra paprika if you like for an extra smoky touch).
• Add the sausages back into the tray along with the gnocchi and pimped passata. Tear the mozzarella into small pieces and scatter over the top.

Finish cooking the dish & plate up

• Pop back into the oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove the dish from the oven, scatter over the reserved basil leaves, then plate up with the mixed leaves and enjoy!
