Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • To make the tomato sauce, place the olive oil in a shallow oven-safe casserole dish on the stove over medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 8 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes, hot water, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil, then stir through the basil and spinach, cooking until wilted.
  • Mix in the lentils and gnocchi and stir to combine. Drizzle over some more olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, and bake in the hot oven for 25 minutes.
  • Serve the bake and garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional) and some basil leaves.
