Ingredients

• 300g pack of gnocchi
• 100g frozen peas
• 70g baby spinach
• 4 tbsp fresh pesto
• 3 tbsp crème fraîche
• zest of 1 lemon
• juice of ½ lemon
• 2 tbsp pine nuts

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions.
2. In a dry skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning and then set aside.
3. Two minutes before the gnocchi are done, add the peas and spinach to a pan.
4. Once the spinach has wilted, mix in the fresh pesto, crème fraîche, lemon juice and heat through gently.
5. Transfer the gnocchi using a slotted spoon into the pan and mix until well combined with the creamy sauce.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Serve with a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts and lemon zest.
