Gnocchi with pancetta, spinach & Parmesan cream recipe

Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  • 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.
