Giveaway!

I've decided to do something different, and to celebrate the anniversary of a year of blogging, have decided to give away this recipe for all my readers! I briefly wrote about it in my last entry.
It's so simple and easy, and purrr-fect for winter!

Tomato Gnocchi Bake
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients (serves 6)

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 large brown onion, chopped. 
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4 short-cut bacon rashers, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine (I used a chardonnay)
  • 400g can diced tomatoes
  • 120g baby spinach leaves
  • 500g gnocchi
  • 200g bocconcini, drained, torn in half. 
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius
  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add bacon and cook until bacon is light golden. 
  3. Add the wine. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until wine reduces by half. Stir in the tomato. 
  4. Season with salt and pepper
  5. Stir in the spinach until it just wilts.
  6. Cook the gnocchi in a large saucepan of salted boiling water. (if using packet gnocchi follow the packet directions). Drain. Add to tomato mixture, stir to combine
  7. Spoon mixture into a baking dish / casserole dish. Top with bocconcini.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bocconcini melts

See! super easy, super delicious!
The tomato mixture becomes quite thick - I'm on a carb ban at the moment, so I just ate around the gnocchi, and it was still plenty substantial.
