2Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat, add shallots and garlic and stir occasionally until tender (5-7 minutes). Add chillies and broccolini and stir occasionally until starting to soften (3-5 minutes).
-
3Add tomato passata, toss to combine, then cover and cook until broccolini is tender (3-5 minutes). Stir in basil and oregano and season to taste.

Notes
Gnocchetti sardi, a pasta also known as malloreddus, is made to look like traditional potato gnocchi. It’s available at select delicatessens, but if you can’t find it, substitute it with small pasta shells or penne.
