shopping list:
1 pack of gnocchi (500g)        0.75 €
1 can pizza tomatoes              0.39 €
1 pot basil                               1.19 €

from stock: 1 onion, 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, herb mix


In a large pot, bring salted water to a vivid boil.

Chop onion into moderate-sized cubes (1/2 cm). Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook onion cubes until glassy, stirring repeatedly. Pour in pizza tomatoes and continue stirring. Reduce heat to minimum and keep until gnocchi are ready, stirring occasionally. When the gnocchi are done, add a few leaves of basil.

When the water boils, pour in gnocchi and keep heat high. After a few minutes, the gnocchi will rise up. Take them out with a wire spoon and put them into the serving bowl. Serve with the sauce.
