How To Make Mediterranean Gnocchi Skillet Recipe With Tuna
To begin take your cast-iron skillet and pour the oil into the pan and place on medium-high heat.
Next prepare the vegetables by chopping up some red onions, cherry tomatoes, olives and courgette/zucchinis.
Place the onion, and courgette/zucchini into the skillet and fry them until the onion and other vegetables are softened and browned.
Now add the cherry tomatoes, olives, dried herbs to the skillet and the tinned tuna and mix together in the pan.
In a large saucepan add a kettle full of boiling water and place the small dumplings in the water with some salt.

Stir the pillowy potato gnocchi into the large skillet so that the ingredients are mixed together. Top with fresh mozzarella and place the skillet into a preheated oven 200C/390F/Gas Mark 6 for 10/15 minutes so that the cheese can melt.
