    | 1. Begin with the sauce. Place the tomatoes in a small pan, then half fill the tomato can with water and add that to the pan. | 2. Stir in the shallot, garlic, herbs, chilies and salt and pepper. | 3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for at least an hour until thickened and dark red. | 4. Meanwhile, to make the gnocchi, boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until tender, then drain. | 5. Mash them well - this bit is important because lumps will be noticeable in the gnocchi, so use a potato ricer if you have one, or mash the potatoes thoroughly to as smooth a texture as possible. | 6. Sprinkle over the basil, plenty of salt and pepper and the flour. | 7. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, bring together to make a firm dough. Knead the dough gently for a couple of minutes and then roll out into sausages about 1/2in thick. Cut the sausages into pieces 1in long. | 8. Gently cook the gnocchi in a pan of simmering water for a minute or two, until they rise to the surface. Scoop them out as they rise, toss with the tomato sauce and arugula leaves, and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
