This recipe is so simple. Effort required is minimal, flavour achieved is maximum!
I have always been a big fan of gnocchi, but when boiled it is easy to over-do it and become mushy, and then you have ruined your dish. When I discovered you could fry or roast them and get a crispy texture it made me happy, not only because I preferred the texture, but because it's difficult to over-do this way too. So this, combined with roasted veg (which are always amazing!) and a rich tomato sauce, makes this dish simply yummy.
