Fun fact: Gnocchi isn’t a type of pasta. Traditional gnocchi is made from potatoes, which makes it a dumpling. Another fact is that this gnocchi recipe is delicious! On a bed of green leaves rests crispy pillows of butternut gnocchi, dotted with rounds of green baby marrow and pops of tangy blistered baby tomatoes.

Choose your portion size.

  1. PILLOWS FOR YOUR PALATE

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 2-3 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. HEAR THEM POP

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. BLISTERED BALSAMIC TOMATOES

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, char the baby tomato halves until blistered, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, add a sweetener and seasoning. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl with the Onion, the balsamic vinegar, ½ of the chopped Parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Mix well to combine and set aside.

  4. WHERE DID MY BABY MARROW GO?

    Return the pan or griddle pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow pieces until charred, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. BUTTER THEM UP

    Return the pan to medium heat with a knob of butter. When hot, fry the cooked gnocchi and the NOMU rub in a single layer until browned and crisped, 2-4 minutes.

  6. IT’S AN ITALIAN FEAST!

    Make a bed of the rinsed green leaves. Scatter over the charred baby marrow, the crispy gnocchi, and the balsamic tomatoes. Drizzle over any remaining balsamic dressing from the tomatoes. Sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and garnish with the remaining chopped Parsley. Enjoy, Chef!
