Number Of Ingredients 10

500g pack gnocchi
1 garlic clove, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
100ml double cream
freshly grated nutmeg
130g pack smoked pancetta cubes
100g spinach
zest ½ lemon
25g parmesan, grated, plus extra for serving
25g toasted pine nut

Steps:

  • 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.
