Pan-Fried Gnocchi with a Quick Ricotta Sauce


Ingredienti

Serves 2


1 tbsp olive oil

1 pack Sunny & Luna Cauliflower Gnocchi

1 medium courgette, chopped into gnocchi-sized chunks

100g frozen peas

250g ricotta

1 lemon, zest and juice, reserving some zest to garnish

Small handful of fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped and reserving some to garnish

Drizzle of good quality olive oil to serve


Non è un problema

  • To make it vegan use a planted-based soft cheese.

  • Replace the courgette and peas with whatever green veg you have in the fridge - spinach, kale, beans, mangetout...


Preparazione

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat.

  2. Add the gnocchi and courgette chunks and fry for 3-5 minutes, turning regularly until the gnocchi is golden and the courgette is soft but still has a bite.

  3. Turn the heat down to low and add the peas, ricotta, lemon juice and most of the zest, leaving some to garnish.

  4. Stir together and gently cook until everything is warm and the ricotta has melted into a creamy sauce.

  5. Take off the heat and stir through most of the mint, again leaving some to garnish.

  6. Serve in two bowls and garnish with the remaining lemon zest and mint and a drizzle of olive oil.
