Ingredients

1 clove of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
800 g gnocchi
400 g canned diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
200 g shredded mozzarella cheese
20 g toasted almonds
1 handful of fresh parsley, chopped
50 g grated pecorino cheese
60 ml extra virgin olive oil

Method

1
In a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, parsley, pecorino cheese, and half of the olive oil. Blend until you have a coarse green sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
In a large frying pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and dried oregano, and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Pour the canned diced tomatoes into the pan, add red pepper flakes, and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4
In another pan, cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions until they float to the top, then drain them.
5
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and fry for 5-7 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
6
Preheat the broiler. Combine the crispy gnocchi with the tomato sauce in the pan, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
7
Place the pan under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8
Serve the gnocchi hot, drizzled with the almond-parsley pesto.
