How to prepare Gnocchi with tomato, sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP and basil

Peel the onion and the garlic clove.

Thinly slice the first one, cut the garlic in half, removing the core.

Collect both ingredients in a large pan and add 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Turn on a low flame and fry until the onion is completely golden.

Add the tomato puree and sugar, mix well, raise the heat and cook the sauce for 20 minutes, half-covered and stirring occasionally. Season with salt.

Cook the gnocchi in plenty of salted water, drain them with a skimmer as they come to the surface and plunge them into the pan with the sauce.

Add the diced sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP, let it melt for about a couple of minutes and add a few fresh basil leaves.

HOW TO SERVE

Arrange the gnocchi in individual bowls, garnish with the discs of sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP and serve.
