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)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the gnocchi later.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly saucy.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Transfer the hot, cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the tomato and broad bean sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi in the sauce.
Step 9
Divide the gnocchi mixture among serving plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple, comforting dish!
