Method

  • step 1

    Place the garlic, herbs, pine nuts, cheese and lemon zest in a small bowl, season well, then stir in the olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside.

  • step 2

    Cook the gnocchi in a pan of salted boiling water following pack instructions, then drain well. Tip into a serving bowl and toss through the pesto. Serve with extra grated Parmesan, if you like.

RECIPE TIPS
GET AHEAD

Make the pesto up to a day ahead, but add the lemon juice at the last minute - this will allow the herbs to stay fresh. If you want more veg, cook some small broccoli florets, green peas or beans with the gnocchi.

Easy and delicious. As others have said, juice of half a lemon is enough.

Nice and refreshing! I used half a lemon as advised and thought that was enough too. I also added some deli chicken to give the dish a bit extra flavour and texture. Dish didn't wow me but was quick, easy and enjoyable!

How do ready-made gnocchi compare to fresh? I've never had them.

Hi, They are a little firmer, and depending on where you buy them from can have variable flavours. Lulu

Aggressively lemony! Loved how simple it was to make, and the combo of ingredients worked very well. Will make again but use half a lemon rather than a whole one.

Deffo less lemon!! Wish I read the reviews before I cooked it. It’s so yummy, but it deffo needs less lemon- it’s too overpowering. I also added grilled asparagus to the recipe to bulk it out a bit and I think it works really well
