Gnocchi alla sorrentina is a dish of boiled gnocchi with tomato sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano and fiordilatte, baked briefly until the cheese melts. The Accademia Italiana della Cucina lists the recipe under Campania, in its pasta, rice and polenta category.
For four people the Accademia gives 800 g of gnocchi with tomato sauce, 250 g of fiordilatte (fresh mozzarella) and 100 g of grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
The method in the Accademia recipe: boil the gnocchi in salted water and drain them as soon as they float. In a baking dish toss them with a thick tomato sauce and plenty of Parmigiano. Cover with a layer of thinly sliced fiordilatte, then more sauce, Parmigiano and basil. Bake for a few minutes at 240 °C, until the cheese has melted, and serve immediately.
The recipe does not give a gnocchi dough: the Accademia lists the gnocchi as a ready ingredient.
