Notes

Note 1: Get your hands on the Geo Watkins Mushroom Ketchup to completely blast this dish to space. You can find it at most major supermarkets.

Note 2: The gnocchi will cook with the excess water in the dish whilst in the oven. By not pre-boiling the gnocchi all the starch remains in the dish, helping thicken the sauce and create a better bite (no sludge).
