Method

Heat half the oil in a large casserole dish over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 10 mins until softened. Add the garlic and fry for 1 min, then tip in the chopped tomatoes and 200ml water. Season and simmer for 10 mins.
Preheat the grill to high. Stir the basil stalks and half the leaves, 1 tsp sugar and another 150ml water into the sauce. Fold in the gnocchi and simmer for 5 mins until the gnocchi is soft and the sauce has thickened.
Tear the mozzarella over the gnocchi and grill for 5 mins until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon zest and juice with some salt and pepper. Toss with the salad leaves and serve alongside the gnocchi bake. Top the gnocchi with the reserved basil leaves to serve.
