  1. IT’S PASTA O’CLOCK

    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, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. FOR SOME CRUNCH

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. TIME FOR THYME

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion and the rinsed thyme until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener (to taste) and the NOMU rub.

  4. CRANBERRY SALAD

    In a salad bowl, toss together the rinsed leaves, the chopped cranberries, ½ the toasted nuts, ½ the balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. FINISH THE SAUCE

    When the onions are done, remove and discard the thyme, then pour in the wine and cook until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add in the cooked gnocchi, the crème fraîche, the grated hard cheese, and the remaining balsamic vinegar. Loosen with the reserved pasta water if too thick. Season and set aside.

  6. PERFECT PASTA

    Serve up the creamy caramelised onion gnocchi and garnish with the hard cheese ribbons and the remaining toasted nuts. Serve the fresh dressed salad on the side.
