2. Add chopped tomatoes, stock, herbs and seasoning and simmer for 60-90 minutes.
3. Combine the butter and mozzarella and melt in the microwave, making sure it is combined.

6. Freeze gnocchi for 10-15 min to firm up. Heat frying pan and fry gnocchi for about 3-4 mins, on medium heat.
7. When meat is soft remove from heat. Serve meat with gnocchi, garnish with fresh basil and parmesan.
