Servings: persons

14 ounces chopped tomatoes
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 sprig rosemary, leaves chopped
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3 ounces arugula leaves
1 lb waxy potato (Desiree, Romano, Estima or Wilja)
12 ounce basil, finely chopped
7 ounces all-purpose flour
salt and pepper

1
Begin with the sauce.
2
Place the tomatoes in a small pan, then half fill the tomato can with water and add that to the pan.
3
Stir in the shallot, garlic, herbs, chilies and salt and pepper.
4
Bring to the boil and simmer gently for at least an hour until thickened and dark red.
5
Meanwhile, to make the gnocchi, boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until tender, then drain.
6
Mash them well - this bit is important because lumps will be noticeable in the gnocchi, so use a potato ricer if you have one, or mash the potatoes thoroughly to as smooth a texture as possible.
7
Sprinkle over the basil, plenty of salt and pepper and the flour.
8
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, bring together to make a firm dough.
9
Knead the dough gently for a couple of minutes and then roll out into sausages about 1/2in thick.
10
Cut the sausages into pieces 1in long.
11
Gently cook the gnocchi in a pan of simmering water for a minute or two, until they rise to the surface.
12
Scoop them out as they rise, toss with the tomato sauce and arugula leaves, and serve.
