How to prepare Gnocchi alla sorrentina in air fryer
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pot, add the tomato sauce, a pinch of salt, and basil leaves. Let the sauce cook with the lid on for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Bring salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to the instructions on the package. Usually, it takes a couple of minutes, when they float to the top, they’re ready.
Drain the gnocchi and place them in a bowl with the tomato sauce. Mix well and pour half of the gnocchi into the baking pan.
Add half of the cubed mozzarella and cover with the remaining gnocchi. Finish with the remaining mozzarella and grated cheese.
Cook for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cooking times may vary depending on the model of the air fryer you have, always check the cooking.
