What You’ll Need for This Creamy Tomato and Feta Gnocchi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just a handful of Mediterranean favourites turn this simple tomato and feta gnocchi into something pretty special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Cherry or mini vine tomatoes:<\/strong> Roast until sweet, juicy and almost jammy. They’re the base of that gorgeous sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Feta:<\/strong> It softens beautifully in the oven, blending with the roasted tomato juices to create a creamy, tangy sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Potato gnocchi:<\/strong> Little pillows of comfort that soak up every bit of sauce. Fresh, shop-bought gnocchi are perfect here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Kalamata olives, capers and anchovies:<\/strong> The salty, briny trio that gives this dish its bold Mediterranean flavour. Not an anchovy fan? You won’t taste anything fishy, just a lovely savoury, umami depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Garlic, oregano and chilli flakes:<\/strong> A little warmth, a little kick and plenty of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Olive oil, basil and lemon zest:<\/strong> Good olive oil brings everything together, while fresh basil and optional lemon zest add a bright finishing touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    How to Make Roasted Tomato and Feta Gnocchi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The oven does most of the work here. A little roasting, a quick stir, and you’ve got a creamy, flavour-packed dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Roast the tomatoes and feta.<\/strong> Toss the tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers and anchovies with olive oil, oregano and chilli flakes in a baking dish. Nestle the feta in the centre and roast until the tomatoes are juicy and bursting and the feta is soft and golden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Cook the gnocchi.<\/strong> While everything roasts, boil the gnocchi until tender. Reserve a little cooking water before draining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Make it creamy.<\/strong> Mash the warm feta into the roasted tomatoes to create a rustic sauce. Toss with the gnocchi, fresh basil and optional lemon zest, adding a splash of cooking water if needed. Finish with black pepper and serve!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
