Ingredients:
🥔 For the Gnocchi:
500g potatoes, boiled and mashed
150g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 egg, beaten
½ tsp salt
🧄 For the Sauce:
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
200ml double cream
50g parmesan cheese, grated
150g cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Method:
1️⃣ Make the Gnocchi:
🥔 Boil the potatoes until soft, then mash them until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
🍳 On a floured surface, mix the mashed potatoes with flour, egg, and salt to form a soft dough.
🔪 Divide into four sections, roll each into a rope, and cut into small bite-sized pieces. Use a fork to create ridges for texture.
🥄 Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook the gnocchi until they float (about 2 minutes). Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:
🍅 Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add cherry tomatoes. Cook until soft.
🧄 Stir in minced garlic and oregano, cooking for another minute.
🥛 Pour in double cream and let it simmer for a couple of minutes before adding parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth.
🌿 Season with salt and black pepper, then toss in the cooked gnocchi. Coat well in the sauce.
3️⃣ Serve:
🍽 Garnish with fresh basil and extra parmesan. Serve warm and enjoy!
