  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. CREAMY SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Deglaze the pan with 100ml of the reserved pasta water and mix in the sour cream. Simmer until slightly thickening, 3-4 minutes. Mix in the rinsed Spinach and the drained sun-dried tomatoes. Season.

  4. DINNER IS READY

    Make a bed of the gnocchi, top with the Chicken slices, and spoon over the creamy sauce. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and garnish with the chopped parsley. Well done, Chef!
