Ingredients

  • 1 clove/s garlic
  • 30g pine nuts
  • 25g pack basil, leaves only, roughly torn
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 25g freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus extra to serve
  • 100g peas, blanched
  • 150g fine green beans, trimmed
  • 500g Essential Gnocchi
  • 1 salad onion, sliced

Method

  1. Put the garlic and pine nuts into a mini food processor, spice grinder or pestle and mortar, then grind to a paste. Add the basil, lemon juice and olive oil and blitz again, until smooth. Add the cheese and peas, then pulse a few times to make a chunky pesto.

  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes, then add the gnocchi and cook for a further 3 minutes, or until it begins to float to the surface.

  3. Drain, reserving a small amount of pasta water. Return everything to the pan and add the pea pesto, along with a few tablespoons of the starchy cooking water. Mix well so everything is coated.

  4. Divide between 2 warm bowls and top with the salad onion, lots of grated cheese and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
