Juicy cherry tomatoes combine beautifully with plump little gnocchi, fried until they're golden. Add a creamy pesto sauce and it becomes a symphony of summery flavour... even if the weather doesn't quite feel like summer yet!

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). 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.
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.
Add the courgette to the pan. Fry until softened, another 3-4 mins.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 1-2 mins more or until they are warmed through.
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!
