Sometimes you don't have to choose - everything you want can be in one dish! This is one of those dishes, something you can gnocch-up (sorry) on a midweek night and still have time to do the dishes and put the kids to bed.
For the sauce, heat the oil then add the sliced garlic and cook until lightly golden and fragrant. Add the onion and fry until translucent and soft. Add the salt and the paprika, then add the tomatoes and cook gently for roughly half an hour until you have a delicious sauce.
Cook the gnocchi to packet instructions, then heat the oil in your widest pan and gently fry them until they have a golden crust, then remove from the pan and fry the chorizo. It will release a crimson oil. Toss the gnocchi through the chorizo.
Pile the chorizo up on a plate and top with the sauce. Whisk the mayonnaise and the garlic together to make the cheats aioli, then pop this on top. Garnish with finely chopped parsley.
