Cooking Instructions and Tips

Prep the Veggies
1

Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Remove the top and bottom from the courgette. Cut lengthways into 1cm wide strips then chop into 1cm chunks. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Make the Pesto
2

Finely chop the pine nuts and three-quarters of the basil (stalks and all).TIP: If you have a pestle and mortar, use that. If not, make sure you chop everything as small as possible - no bigger than a grain of rice. Put the crème fraîche in a bowl and mix in the garlic, pine nuts, chopped basil and hard Italian cheese. Season with black pepper. Stir and set aside.

Fry the Gnocchi
3

Put a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the gnocchi and fry until golden, 6 mins. Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper.

Cook the Courgette
4

Add the courgette to your pan. Fry for another 2 mins.

Add the Tomatoes
5

Add the cherry tomatoes to your pan. Cook for 1 minute more or until they are warmed through.

Finish and Serve
6

Take your pan off the heat and mix in the creamy pesto. Serve the gnocchi in bowls, topped with the remaining basil leaves and a wedge of lemon on the side. Buon appetito!
