For a fast fix of comfort food, this gnocchi traybake is ideal - buy pre-chopped chorizo and garlic and you won’t even have to chop anything.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/190C fan/gas 6. Put the chorizo, purple sprouting broccoli and cherry tomatoes in a high-sided tray, ours was roughly 30cm by 25cm. Drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, shaking halfway, until the chorizo has released its oils and becomes crisp.
Step 2
Squish the tomatoes slightly to help release their juices, then grate over the garlic and stir in 2 tbsp water (if cooking for 4). Scatter in the gnocchi, stirring well to coat. Season, then return the tray to the oven for 10-12 mins.
Step 3
Spoon in the mascarpone and scatter over the basil. Mix well until the tomatoes and mascarpone have combined to make a creamy sauce. Scatter any remaining basil on top and serve with grated parmesan, if you like.
