Number Of Ingredients 8

100g flat-leaf parsley , leaves only
1 garlic clove
40g cashew nuts , toasted
120ml extra virgin olive oil
40g grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative, plus extra to serve
1 lemon , zested
500g bag gnocchi
450g green beans , halved

Steps:

  • Roughly chop the parsley leaves and whizz in a food processor with the garlic, nuts and oil to a smooth consistency. Transfer to a bowl and stir through the parmesan and lemon zest, season and set aside.
  • Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi and beans, and boil for 2-3 mins or until the gnocchi floats to the top of the pan. Drain and toss the gnocchi and beans with the pesto, then divide between four bowls. Finish with a little extra shaved parmesan, if you like.
