Cooking Steps

1

Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Once hot, add the baby plum tomatoes and cook for 1-2 mins.

Reduce the heat to medium-high, then add the onion and cider vinegar to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

Add the gnocchi to the pan. Cook, turning regularly, until softened and fry 5-6 mins.

3

Meanwhile, drain and tear the mozzarella into roughly 3cm chunks.

4

Place the rocket into your serving bowls. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat. 

5

Reduce the gnocchi pan to low heat, stir through the creme fraiche, pesto and water (see pantry). Season with salt and pepper and stir to coat, simmer for 2-3 mins.

Add a splash of water if it looks dry.

6

Divide the pesto gnocchi between your bowls and top with the mozzarella.

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over everything. 

Finish by sprinkling the pumpkin seeds over the gnocchi.
