Gnocchi alla Sorrentina (alla Domitio)

XX
Ingredients (Yields 4)
Pork ribs
Provola cheese (400 g)
Parmesan cheese (grated)
Red wine (or white if you prefer)
Tomato sauce/puree (2-3 cans)
Extra virgin olive oil (1 cup)
Onion (1 small/medium)
Carrot (1, for flavoring)
Gnocchi (1kg)
Salt


Place in pot: plenty of olive oil (approximately 1 cup) diced onions, carrots, pork. Add red wine and salt - let cook for about 5 minutes. Turn over the pork, let cook for another 5 minutes. Over medium heat.


Always remember to take sips of wine while cooking, as seen here↓

Add tomato puree and half a cup of water, few pinches of salt. Let simmer for 2 hours until tomato puree gains consistency (30 min if you must hurry).
*it's very important not to close the lid all the way.. you need some air to 'fluff' the sauce and pork


Boil gnocchi. Add to pot of boiled gnocchi: simmered tomato puree from earlier, provola cheese, grated parmesan cheese.


I've been suggested to mention the importance of grating the cheese..


Prepare 4 oven-proof dishes, pour in tomato puree, gnocchi, more provola cheese and parmesan cheese, top off with basil.


Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and slightly burnt.


Enjoy the pork as the main dish, after devouring the gnocchi.
