Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt.

Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Drain and tear the mozzarella into small pieces.

Boil the Gnocchi
2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the gnocchi and simmer until they float to the top, 2-3 mins.

Drain well in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together. Set aside for frying later.

Start your Tomato Sauce
3

While the gnocchi cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the shallot and chorizo and fry until the shallot has softened and the chorizo has started to brown, 3-4 mins.

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more, then pour in the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock paste, chilli flakes (use less if you'd prefer things milder) and sugar for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Time to Fry
4

Bring the sauce to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 5-7 mins.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in another large (preferably nonstick) frying pan on high heat.

Once hot, add the gnocchi and stir-fry until golden, 6-8 mins.

Add the Spinach
5

Once thickened, stir the spinach into the sauce a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Add the fried gnocchi, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Add half the torn mozzarella pieces and stir to combine, adding a splash of water if it's a little thick.

Serve
6

When ready, serve your gnocchi in bowls with the remaining mozzarella scattered on top.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Sept 2026
  • Flavour: The chorizo and tomato sauce combination is rich and satisfying, with a pleasant kick from the chilli flakes; some found the overall dish a little too salty or tomatoey, so taste before seasoning and consider using less stock paste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to make, though the recipe requires two frying pans; if you only have one, fry the gnocchi first, set it aside, then make the sauce in the same pan.
  • Suggestions: Go easy on the chilli flakes if you prefer a milder dish. Adding fresh basil or a sprinkle of parmesan on top can lift the flavour, and serving with garlic bread is a popular way to mop up the sauce.
  • Portions: The dish is very filling and generous — some found it easily stretched to three portions rather than two.
  • Next-day meals: The gnocchi does not reheat well, so this dish is best eaten fresh on the day it is made.
