Baked tomato and bacon gnocchi

Cook gnocchi according to packet directions. Drain.

Heat an oiled, large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Add garlic. Stir for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste and cream. Bring to a boil.

Remove pan from heat. Stir in gnocchi and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into an ovenproof dish (8-cup capacity). Sprinkle with cheese.

Cook in a hot oven (200°C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Garnish with basil leaves.
