Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 250g fresh gnocchi
- 100g spring greens or kale, thinly sliced
- 250ml vegetable stock
- 250g frozen peas
- zest and juice of ½ lemon
- 4 tbsp ricotta, light soft cheese or soft goats' cheese
- 20g toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped, or pine nuts
- a pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
Step by step
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute until golden, then tip in the gnocchi and spring greens or kale. Stir to coat in the garlicky oil, then pour in the stock.
- Once the stock is bubbling, cover the pan, and cook the gnocchi and greens for 2 minutes. Stir in the peas and half the lemon zest. Cook for a further minute or so, until the peas are warmed through. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- Ladle the braised greens and gnocchi into 2 bowls. Top with the ricotta, remaining lemon zest, toasted hazelnuts and chilli flakes. Drizzle over a little extra olive oil to serve.
