Have we gone a bit ricotta mad? Maybe so, but with good reason. It’s back this week as an ingredient in our cheesy gnocchi and sausage bake, which is a great take on our favourite type of pasta.

You can make your own gnocchi using our recipe, but if you’re feeling lazy, you can just buy a pack from the supermarket to get you started. We won’t judge – we did the same when preparing this dish.

It’s a lot of fun to play around with this one, and we’ve tried a couple of variations on it already, though this is our favourite so far. You could also try it with green beans, aduki beans, or even tenderstem broccoli.

- 500 g gnocchi
- 250 g ricotta
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen sweetcorn
- 4 Quorn hot dog sausages chopped
- 1 handful fresh basil torn into smaller pieces
- 2 bulbs spring onion chopped
-
First, cook the gnocchi. Boil a saucepan of water with a pinch of salt. Add in the gnocchi and cook until it floats to the surface.
-
Meanwhile, spray a frying pan with cooking spray and add in the sweetcorn, peas, basil, hot dog, and spring onion.
-
Cook until the sweetcorn and peas are defrosted, and the hot dog pieces are browned.
-
Drain the gnocchi. Add it to the ricotta and vegetables in a large bowl.
-
Mix thoroughly and serve. The heat from the cooked parts will warm through the ricotta!
