GNOCCHI MOMENT
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a high heat and fill with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and bring back up to the boil. Once boiling, cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes until they begin to float and are heated through. Drain on completion, reserving 100ml of gnocchi water. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a nonstick pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving.
TOASTY TOMS
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the halved baby tomatoes and fry for 4-5 minutes until blistered, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and cover to keep warm.
GOLDEN GNOCCHI
When the gnocchi is cooked, return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the cooked gnocchi in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden. Remove from the pan on completion and drain on paper towel.
CHEESY SAUCE
Return the pan to a low heat. Pour in 50ml of the reserved gnocchi water and the Cream. Add the cheese mix and the grated hard cheese. Stir for 3-4 minutes until fully combined and the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and toss through the golden gnocchi. Add an extra splash of gnocchi water to loosen the sauce, if necessary. Season to taste. Just before serving, dress the rinsed salad leaves with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
BON APPETITO!
Pile up the creamy cheesy gnocchi. Scatter over the charred tomatoes and drizzle over the balsamic reduction. Side with dressed salad leaves, sprinkle over the toasted sunflower seeds, and garnish with picked basil leaves. Great work, Chef!
