20 MIN GNOCCHI WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES, MASCARPONE & SPINACH

I am once again knee deep into show season so for now recipes have to be quick to make (and not leave the kitchen in a huge mess), while still looking and tasting restaurant worthy.

This gnocchi concoction, rustled up in less than 20 minutes, does exactly that - a perfect combo of gnocchi, sundried tomatoes, mascarpone and spinach - a little bit of dolce vita on a plate when the day has been long and full of emails!

SERVES 2 

INGREDIENTS 
  • 150g fresh spinach 
  • A jar sundried tomatoes 
  • 500g gnocchi (a pack that cooks in 2 mins) 
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 pinch salt 
  • 200ml vegetable stock
  • 150g mascarpone 
  • 2 tsp tomato puree 
  • A few basil leaves to finish off the dish

METHOD
  • Add the kettle to boil
  • Add the sundried tomatoes (with some of the oil from the jar), tomato puree, mascarpone, chilli flakes and salt to the pan on high heat.
  • Add 200ml water from the kettle to the vegetable stock cube and pour into the sauce.
  • Add the spinach and gnocchi, stir on high heat until the gnocchi has absorbed some of the  stock and is cooked (2-3 mins) 
  • Serve topped with fresh basil, black pepper and Parmesan 
  • ENJOY!
