1 long red pepper (eg mediterranean), chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 large mushrooms chopped
4 rashers of very lean extra trimmed bacon, roughly chopped
1 mini-tin (about 50g) of tomato puree
500g of passata (chopped, pureed tomatoes) or 1 large tin chopped tomatoes
1 fresh red chili, seeded and chopped
1 small handful fresh oregano, chopped
500g (enough for two people) fresh gnocchi (potato done like pasta)
Gently saute the pepper, chili and garlic in a little olive oil for about 10 minutes
turn up heat and add bacon and mushrooms fry 2 or 3 minutes until cooked
add passata, oregano, tomato puree
Bring up to a simmer and leave to bubble away for 20 mins or so.
Cook gnocchi by bringing water to boil in a saucepan and add, after about 2 minutes should all be floating on surface -> it's done!
Divide gnocchi into two, ladle sauce over the top.. maybe sprinkle with some fresh parmesan.
Very yummy.. if I say it myself.. I made this one because I fancied something a little fiery without onion... and it's nice... rich and tomatoey with a kick
Enjoy!
