  1. BOIL THE GNOCCHI

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a high heat, fill with boiling water, and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling rapidly, pop in the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to float and are heated through. Drain on completion.

  2. NOW, GET IT CRISPY!

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a generous knob of butter. When beginning to foam, fry the gnocchi in a single layer for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown and crisp. Remove from the pan on completion.

  3. GREEN GODDESS SAUCE

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat and add drizzle of oil or another knob of butter if necessary. When hot, fry the grated garlic for about a minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the white wine and simmer for a minute until the liquid has reduced by half. Mix in the cream, the basil pesto, and some lemon juice and zest to taste. Once combined, allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened.

  4. FINAL TOUCHES

    Once the sauce has reduced, stir in the peas and edamame beans and heat through for about a minute. Gently toss the fried gnocchi through the sauce until reheated and coated. Season to taste and remove the pan from the heat. Toss a drizzle of oil through the rinsed green leaves and season to taste.

  5. A BOWL OF DIVINE GOODNESS

    Scoop up a generous helping of the rich green goddess gnocchi. Cover in the grated hard cheese and garnish with any remaining lemon zest to taste. Serve with the dressed green leaves on the side. Bellissimo!
