directions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat.
  • Chop bread into bite size pieces.
  • Add olive oil, butter and garlic to the skillet.
  • Melt butter into oil then add the bread.
  • Season the bread with salt and pepper. Toss and cook the bread 7 to 8 minutes then add the tomato sauce and fresh tomatoes.
  • Turn to coat and warm the tomato sauce, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the bread gnocchi and tomatoes from heat and transfer to a casserole dish, top with basil then cover the dish with cheese.
  • Place the casserole under the broiler and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese browns and bubbles. Serve immediately.
  • Sometimes I'll add some extra ingredients at the beginning depending on mood and what I have on hand. I made this with bacon and mushrooms last night.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've just returned to the States after living in Japan for 2 years and am undergoing some major life changes. It's great to be able to buy good coffee, licorice and tortillas again! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> Ratings: I often give 4 or 5 star ratings, but I usually only try recipes that I know I'll like. 5 Stars - it was fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing. 4 stars - it's a very good recipe, will make again but changed it just a little. 3 stars - it was an okay recipe, but there were things I'd definitely change if I made it again. 2 stars - the recipe really didn't impress us much (by us I mean the hubby and myself) 1 star - there might have been something wrong with the recipe posting to begin with, because it was a complete failure (I haven't had any of these!)
