Great basic recipe - add around 200ml boiling water and 2 tablespoons tomato puree at the same time as the chopped tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, sweet smoked paprika and oregano prior to transferring to oven dish.

Good basic recipe but I add a bit of water with the toms alongside some pesto and a tablespoon of tomato purée because there isn't enough liquid to soak the gnocchi in and I like a punchier flavour.
