  1. GET GOING

    Place the pecan nuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan, set aside to cool and roughly chop. In a salad bowl, whisk together the dressing and 10ml of olive oil. Toss through the quartered baby tomatoes, season to taste, and set aside.

  2. CRISPY SAGE BUTTER

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a generous knob of butter. Once foaming, fry the sage leaves for about 1 minute per side until crispy. (Use tongs if you have them!) Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Pour the sage butter into a small bowl and set aside for serving.

  3. CARAMELISE THE MUSHIES

    Return the pan to the heat with another drizzle of oil if necessary. When the pan is hot, fry the sliced mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until golden and crisping up, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.

  4. THINGS ARE HEATING UP!

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a high heat, fill with boiling water, and add a pinch of salt. Once bubbling, cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes until they begin to float and are heated through. Drain on completion, reserving ½ a cup of the water. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the gnocchi in a single layer for 2-4 minutes until crisp and golden, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. CREAMY SAUCE

    Return the pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add in the grated garlic and sauté for a minute. Lower the heat and stir in the cream, ½ of the grated Italian cheese, 30ml of milk or milk alternative, and seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Mix in the gnocchi and mushrooms, and cook for 1-2 minutes until coated and reheated. If the sauce is too thick, loosen with the reserved gnocchi water. Remove from the heat on completion. Toss the rinsed green leaves through the bowl of tomatoes.

  6. YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT!

    Dish up the decadent gnocchi, pour over the sage butter to taste, and top with the sage leaves. Side with the salad, sprinkle it all with the pecan nuts and the remaining cheese. Scrumptious!
