Instructions

Chop your courgette
1

Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Slice the courgettes in half lengthways, then slice each half lengthways into three slices. Now chop the courgettes widthways into 1cm cubes and grate the parmesan.

Fry your pine nuts
2

Heat a frying pan over medium heat for a few mins. Without adding any oil, add the pine nuts and cook them until golden brown before removing. Tip: Be careful! Your nuts can burn easily so watch them like a hawk!

3

With the pine nuts removed add 1 tbsp of oil to your pan along with the chorizo. Cook for a few mins until it is slightly crispy at the edges, then remove from the pan and keep with the pine nuts for later.

Fry your courgette
4

Add 2 tbsp of oil to the same frying pan (no need to wash!) and turn the heat to high. When hot, add your courgettes with a pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper and cook for 4-5 mins. Once they have browned off remove them from the pan and keep them to the side for later. Add another 1 tbsp of oil and cook your cherry tomatoes for 4 mins.

Fry your gnocchi
5

Remove the cherry tomatoes from the pan, toss the gnocchi in 2 tbsp of olive oil and put into the pan over medium-high heat for 5 mins, until it’s crispy around the edges. Put a lid (or a plate) on the pan to help cook them through to the middle for a further 2 mins and reduce the heat to medium.

6

Add your spinach to the gnocchi. Stir everything together until the spinach wilts.

7

Finally take the pan off the heat and mix in the crème fraîche, pesto, courgettes, tomatoes, half the parmesan and half the pine nuts. Divide between your bowls and top with the remaining parmesan, the chorizo and the rest of the pine nuts. Buon appetito!
