Oven-bake

An oven-bake is the answer to the unfussiest dinner. Build it in a pan, slide it in, forget about it for half an hour, sit down. Our gnocchi bake skips the boiling step entirely. The asparagus tart needs no blind-baking. The frittata starts on the hob and finishes in the oven. Smoked salmon either goes in early to flavour through, or at the very end to stay soft. Either way, you spend twenty-five minutes at the kitchen table while the oven does the work.
