Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 3 mins. Drain and roughly chop.
Cook the gnocchi following the pack instructions; drain well.
Meanwhile, squeeze out the sausage meat and discard the skins. Put the meat straight into a large frying pan set over a medium-high heat. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break the meat up, for about 4 mins, or until browned. Add the chilli flakes and garlic and cook for 2 mins more. Stir in the chopped broccoli with the vinegar and cook through for 2-3 mins.
Spoon into a baking dish with the basil and gnocchi. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan and bake for 15 mins, or until the cheese has melted. Serve with a side of rocket.
