Instructions

1

Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Remove the top and bottom from the courgette.  Cut lengthways into 1cm wide strips, then chop into 1cm chunks.

2

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the pine nuts and 3/4 of the rocket. 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 (see ingredients for amount!), pine nuts, chopped rocket and hard Italian cheese. Season with black pepper. Stir and set aside.

3

Put a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the gnocchi and fry until golden, 6-8 mins. Stir every minute or so to make sure the gnocchi doesn't burn. Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper.

4

Add the courgette to the pan. Fry until softened, another 3-4 mins.

5

Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 1-2 mins more or until they are warmed through.

6

Take the pan off the heat and mix in the creamy pesto. Serve the gnocchi in bowls, topped with the remaining rocket leaves. Buon appetito!
