30g parmesan shaved

2 sprigs of fresh basil leaves picked

Gnocchi

500g sweet potatoes, orange

Methodbased on 4 servings
1

To make the gnocchi, pierce sweet potato all over with a fork and microwave on HIGH for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until tender. Cut in half, lengthways, scoop flesh out and spread on a plate to cool.

2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook onion, stirring for 4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and chilli and cook for another minute.

3

Add passata, bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes until reduced and thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

4

Meanwhile, blend cooled potato with ricotta, grated parmesan, egg yolk, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Gently mix in flour until just combined. Don’t overwork it or the dough will toughen.

5

Transfer to a lightly floured bench, divide into four and roll into cylinders, adding more flour if too sticky. With a sharp knife, cut into 2.5cm pieces. Repeat with remaining dough.

6

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook gnocchi for 2 minutes or until they float to the surface.

7

Transfer to serving bowl or divide between plates and top with sauce, shaved parmesan and basil.
