DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and add the pancetta. Cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
- Add the red onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for a further 5 minutes, or until the pancetta is cooked and the onion softened.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomato paste, and mascarpone cheese. Simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi for 1-2 minutes, until they rise to the surface. Do not overcook.
- Drain the gnocchi thoroughly and place in a large ovenproof dish (I use a 10x6).
- Add the chopped basil to the pancetta sauce mixture and stir. Pour the sauce over the gnocchi and toss gently to coat it.
- Combine the grated cheese with the breadcrumbs and scatter over the gnocchi.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
