Ingredients:

350 g mashed Royal Blue potato

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 1/4 cup plain flour

2 onions, sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tsp oil

1/4 cup dry white wine

400 g tinned tomatoes, chopped

2 Tbsp tomato paste

2 tsp brown sugar

2 Tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped

Directions:

When mashed potato has cooled slightly, add the lightly beaten egg and gradually add flour. To make gnocchi, knead into a ball and separate into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 1cm think roll and cut into small pieces. Cook in batches in boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes. When the gnocchi float to the surface they are ready.


Whilst the gnocchi is cooking, sauté onions and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in wine, tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, brown sugar and basil and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over gnocchi.

Variations:

Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serving suggestion not included in nutritional information.
