Ingredients

1 head broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets

500g pack Asda Italian Gnocchi

40g Parmesan, grated, plus extra, to serve

30g walnuts, toasted

6tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/4tsp dried chilli flakes

25g fresh basil

Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

12 cherry tomatoes, halved

Method

In a large pan of boiling water, blanch the broccoli for 6-8 mins. Refresh in cold water. Set aside.

Cook the gnocchi according to the pack instructions.

Pulse the broccoli, Parmesan, walnuts, oil, garlic, chilli, basil, zest and juice in a processor, until you have a coarse paste.

Drain the gnocchi, reserving 100ml of the liquid. Return the pan to the heat, add the gnocchi and tomatoes, stir in the broccoli pesto and toss until heated through. If needed, thin with a splash of the cooking liquid. Serve with Parmesan and black pepper.
