Ingredients

500g pack Asda Gnocchi

100g frozen peas

250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced

2tsp rapeseed oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

100g baby spinach

300ml semi-skimmed milk

1tbsp plain flour

Method

Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the gnocchi and peas and cook for 2 mins. Drain and set aside.

Heat a deep-sided frying pan, add the mushrooms and dry-fry for 4-6 mins until golden. Add 1tsp of the oil and the garlic, and cook for 1 min.

Add the remaining 1tsp oil to the pan, tip in the gnocchi mixture and fry for 2-3 mins, stirring, until the gnocchi are golden.

Put ½ the baby spinach and 200ml of the milk in a processor and blitz until finely chopped. Add the rest of the spinach and pulse to a liquid. Alternatively, use a handheld blender.

In a small pan, mix the flour to a paste with a splash of the remaining milk. Stir in the rest of the milk and heat on low, stirring, until thickened.

Add the spinach mixture to the pan, then bring to a simmer and cook for 2 mins. Season with ground black pepper, add the cheese and cook until melted. Add to the pan with the gnocchi, mix until coated, then serve.
