Cheat s ricotta and cherry tomato gnocchi

With Donna Hay’s cheat dough, you can make this quick gnocchi dish without any hassle

Ingredients:

  • 360g/12oz ricotta
  • 80g/3oz parmesan (or a similar vegetarian hard cheese), plus extra to serve, finely grated
  • 150g/5½oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 3 free-range eggs, beaten
  • 1½ tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp flatleaf parsley leaves
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 60ml/2fl oz extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 600g/1lb 5oz mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp baby basil, to serve

Directions:

  1. Put the ricotta, Parmesan, flour, eggs, salt and some pepper in a large bowl and mix until a sticky dough has formed. Add the herbs and lemon zest and mix again.
  2. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into two and roll each piece into a 3cm/1¼in-wide log. Lightly flour a baking tray. Slice each log into 2cm/¾in-thick pieces and set aside on the prepared tray.
  3. Heat the oil in large frying pan over a high heat. Add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until soft.
  4. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted boiling water to the boil and cook the gnocchi in two batches for 2–3 minutes, or until firm and risen to the surface. Remove it with a slotted spoon.
  5. Toss the gnocchi with the tomatoes. Spoon into shallow bowls, scatter it with the baby basil and Parmesan and serve.
