Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Potato gnocchi
- 200 g Broad beans (shelled)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 300 g Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste
- 150 ml Vegetable stock
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the gnocchi later.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and blanch the shelled broad beans for 2-3 minutes. Drain them and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, gently squeeze the beans to remove their outer skins, revealing the bright green interiors. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly saucy.
Stir in the tomato paste and vegetable stock. Season with salt and black pepper, and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to thicken and develop flavor.
Add the cooked broad beans to the tomato sauce and stir gently to combine. Lower the heat and keep warm while you cook the gnocchi.
Cook the gnocchi in the pot of boiling water according to package instructions or until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes for fresh gnocchi). Drain well.
Transfer the hot, cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the tomato and broad bean sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi in the sauce.
Divide the gnocchi mixture among serving plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple, comforting dish!
