Step 8
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, add garlic and cook, for 1-2 mins or until lightly browned.

Tips
- Instead of making gnocchi, use a 500 g packet of ready-made potato gnocchi.
- If you want to use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes, you will have to cook the sauce longer – until the tomatoes become soft.
