GNOCCHI
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserve the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
Chicken
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CREAMY SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the garlic until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Deglaze the pan with 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of the reserved pasta water and mix in the sour cream. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Mix in the Spinach and the sun-dried tomatoes. Season.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the gnocchi, top with the Chicken slices, and spoon over the creamy sauce. Sprinkle over the cheese and garnish with the parsley. Well done, Chef!
