Ingredients

• 400 g Gnocchi (pre-cooked or fresh)
• 1 pc Zucchini
• 200 g Cherry tomatoes
• 125 g Mozzarella
• 40 g Parmesan, freshly grated
• 1 pc Garlic clove
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 bunch Basil
• Salt
• Pepper

Method

1. Wash the zucchini, trim the ends and cut into cubes of about 1 cm. Halve the cherry tomatoes, tear the mozzarella into small pieces and grate the Parmesan.
2. Finely chop the garlic clove. Wash the basil and pick off the leaves.
3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium to high heat. Fry the gnocchi for about 5 minutes, turning until golden brown all over, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the zucchini cubes and fry for another 4 minutes until they take on a little color. Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes and fry for 2 minutes more, until the tomatoes start to burst slightly.
5. Reduce the heat. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan until the cheese begins to melt slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the basil leaves and serve immediately.
