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.
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.
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.
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.
