Ingredients
- Gnocchi: 500g pack gnocchi
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, sliced
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Double Cream: 100ml double cream
- Nutmeg: freshly grated nutmeg
- Pancetta: 130g pack smoked pancetta cubes
- Spinach: 100g spinach
- Lemon: zest 1/2 lemon
- Parmesan: 25g parmesan, grated, plus extra for serving
- Pine Nut: 25g toasted pine nut
Directions
- Cook the gnocchi following pack instructions, then drain. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp of the oil in a small pan and fry the garlic, then add the cream and a good grating of nutmeg. Put to one side.
- Heat 2 tsp of the remaining oil in a frying pan and cook the pancetta until crisp. Add the gnocchi and fry until it starts to turn golden, adding a little more oil if it begins to stick. Stir in the spinach, lemon zest and seasoning.
- Stir the Parmesan into the cream sauce. Spoon the gnocchi onto plates, drizzle over the sauce and scatter with pine nuts. Serve with extra Parmesan.
