Gnocchi is one of my favorites. The mushy starchy texture is delicious and has more flavor than pasta. You can make me happy with gnocchi any time of day or year! This recipe has spring and summer vibes with lots of fresh greens and roasted radish.
Ingredients
Main dish for 2 persons
- 200 g gnocchi
- 10 radishes, in halves
- Bunch of spring onions, whole
- 100 g green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 broccoli, in chunky pieces
- 100 g fresh baby spinach
- Salt and fresh black pepper
Dressing
- Olive oli
- Sea salt
- Zest and a little juice of 2 lemons
- Handful of fresh tarragon, chopped
Preparation:
- Grill the broccoli in a grill or frying pan for 5-10 minutes until golden and a little charred edge here or there. Also grill the radishes and whole spring onions (or add the spring onions thinly sliced).
- Boil the gnocchi and the green peas in water with some salt. Whilst that is cooking combine some olive oil, salt, lots of lemon zest, a tiny splash of lemon juice and freshly chopped tarragon to make a lemony sweet herb dressing.
- Once the gnocchi is ready, combine all the ingredients together. Add the dressing and grind some black pepper over the dish.
- Put on your summer hat, find a nice spot in the sun and get ready to enjoy!
- Tips: Instead of tarragon you can also use flat parsley, dill or chives. A wonderfully tasty and colourful add-on are caramelized or pickled chioggia beets. Instead of gnocchi this dish also works well with pasta or on top of a creamy potato mash with chives.
- Serving: For extra protein you could add a butter bean dip, roasted almonds or a simple salad with beans or sprouts on the side. Vegetarian add-ons could be soft-boiled eggs, parmesan or goat cheese.
