Cooking Steps

GET PREPPED
1

Finely grate the Parmesan cheese. Zest the lemon to get a pinch and slice into wedges. Peel and crush the garlic. Dice the zucchini. Dice the Roma tomato.

MAKE THE BASIL PESTO SAUCE
2

Finely chop the pine nuts and the basil (reserve a few leaves for garnish!). In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, pine nuts, basil, Parmesan and a pinch of lemon zest. Season with black pepper. Stir and set aside. DTIP: Use a blender or mortar and pestle for a smoother pesto if you like.

FRY THE GNOCCHI
3

Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the gnocchi (use suggested amount) in a single layer and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. DTIP: No need to boil the gnocchi first, it can go straight into the frying pan! DTIP: Make sure you don't overcrowd the pan – the gnocchi must be in a single layer to ensure even cooking. DTIP: Add extra oil if required to prevent sticking.

ADD THE VEGGIES
4

Add the garlic and zucchini to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the tomato and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil pesto sauce. Toss well to coat the gnocchi.

PREP THE SALAD
5

While the gnocchi are cooking, combine the vinegar, honey and olive oil (3 tsp for 2 people / 1 1/2 tbs for 4 people) in a medium bowl. Add the mixed salad leaves and toss to coat. DTIP: Add the salad leaves just before serving to prevent soggy leaves.

SERVE UP
6

Divide the gnocchi between bowls. Sprinkle over the reserved basil leaves. Serve the salad and lemon wedges on the side.
