  • 50 mL Olive oil

Instructions

For the Gnocchi

  • While the potato is still warm, mix the Advital Powder into the cooked potato along with the salt.
  • The mixture should come together & be a smooth dough.
  • Roll the dough out into a 1cm wide log shape & cut your portions out of this, dust with more Advital to stop them sticking together.
  • Allow to cool.

For the Tomato Passata

  • In a medium sized fry pan, fry off the onion & garlic in the olive oil for 10 minutes on a medium heat.
  • Add the red wine vinegar & allow it to cook for 1minute.
  • Add the tomato passata, salt & pepper, Bring it to a simmer, then turn the heat to low & cook for 30 minutes.
  • Blend the sauce in high speed until smooth (you can use a hand blender, just make sure it’s completely smooth).

For the Basil Pesto

  • Add all ingredients into a blender & blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

For the Goats Cheese Mousse

  • In a mixing bowl, use a spatula to mix these together until the mix is smooth.

To Serve

  • Heat the tomato sauce in a fry pan, add the gnocchi & gently stir, being careful not to break up the gnocchi, serve in a bowl, & top with the basil pesto & a few dots of the goat's cheese mousse.
