Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
- 2 shallots , finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves , crushed
- pinch of chilli flakes
- 3-4 thyme sprigs , leaves picked
- 2 tbsp sundried tomato purée
- 150ml cream or 100g mascarpone
- 25g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, grated
- 500g gnocchi
- 1 camembert (about 250g; ensure vegetarian, if needed)
- 6 sage leaves
Method
Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet or frying pan over a low-medium heat and cook the shallots for 5-8 mins until softened.
Stir in the garlic, chilli flakes and thyme, cook for a minute, then add the tomato purée, cream and half the parmesan. Season.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in a pan of boiling water following pack instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of the cooking water. Add the gnocchi to the sauce along with a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Heat the grill to high.
Slice the camembert and arrange the slices over the gnocchi. Rub each sage leaf with a little olive oil, then arrange these on top of the cheese. Grill for 4-5 mins until golden and bubbling. Season with freshly ground black pepper, then serve.
