Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Place gnocchi in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people). Season, toss to coat and spread out evenly. • Bake until golden, 15-18 minutes.
• Roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes. • Roughly tear kale leaves, then discard stems.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. • Cook soffritto mix, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic paste and garlic & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add passata, the water, the brown sugar and vegetable stock powder. Simmer until thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes. Add semi-dried tomatoes, kale and red pesto and cook, stirring, until kale is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir through the butter and gnocchi.
• Season the tomato and red pesto gnocchi to taste, then divide between bowls. Crumble over fetta cubes. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
