Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook gnocchi, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi sticks to the pan.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook soffritto mix, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add tomato sugo, the water and brown sugar and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Stir baby spinach leaves, basil pesto and the butter through the sauce, until leaves have wilted, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. • Remove pan from heat, then add the gnocchi and grated Parmesan cheese. Gently toss gnocchi to coat in the sauce.
• Divide Mediterranean tomato gnocchi between bowls. • Top with toasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The tomato sugo and basil pesto sauce was well liked, though some reviewers found the overall dish quite rich and heavy; a smaller serving or a side salad helps balance it out.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, with the soffritto mix making it easy to get vegetables into the dish fast.
- Suggestions: Pan-frying the gnocchi until golden gives a satisfying crispy exterior; if it sticks, add a little extra oil and avoid storing it in the fridge before cooking. Some reviewers reduced the brown sugar to dial back the sweetness, and adding bacon or chicken worked well to boost the protein.
- Next-day meals: The gnocchi does not reheat particularly well, so this dish is best enjoyed fresh on the night.
- Portions: A few reviewers noted the dish felt quite carb-heavy and suggested a side salad to lighten the meal.
