Recipe printed from www.easycheesyvegetarian.com

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon oil
500 g (~ 1 lb) gnocchi
60 g (~ ½ cup) frozen diced onion (or ½ a fresh onion, diced)
3 cloves garlic minced
250 g (~ 1 cup) your favourite tomato pizza or pasta sauce
¼ teaspoon black pepper
150 g (~ 5 oz) grated mozzarella cheese
Your choice of pizza toppings - I used black olives, button mushrooms, yellow pepper, and cherry tomatoes
Fresh chives, to serve (optional)

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, and add the gnocchi and the diced onion. Cook for around 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly, until lightly browned. Add the minced garlic, and cook for a couple more minutes.
Next, add the tomato pizza sauce, and mix well to combine. Season to taste with black pepper.
Heat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (mine measured approximately 8 x 8 inches), and top with plenty of grated mozzarella cheese. Add your choice of pizza toppings - I used black olives, button mushrooms, yellow pepper, and cherry tomatoes.
Cover with a lid or some kitchen foil, and bake for around 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly. If you'd like to crisp up the cheese a little, remove the lid and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes or so. Serve topped with fresh chives.
