Ingredients
 

  • 1 500 g packet of gnocchi (not frozen), or alternately make your own (its easy, its just a dough made from mash veggies, typically potato, and flour)
  • 1 large jar or bottle (600-700 g) of tomato pasta sauce in a flavor of your choice. I used a home made one that I had bottled previously.

Instructions
 

  • Add your gnocchi to the bowl of the slow cooker.
  • I used a 1.5 lt mini slow cooker
  • Add the tomato pasta sauce to the gnocchi.
  • stir the ingredients together.
  • If your pasta sauce is quite thick, you may like to add a dash of water to thin it out as the gnocchi will absorb some of this.
  • Cook on high for approximately 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • This should serve 2 as a main with topping of fresh herbs or other topping of choice, or for 4 serves as a side to a fresh green salad or as you desire.
