Ingredients

  • 500g floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper
  • 150g gluten-free plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 150g fresh basil leaves
  • 50g pine nuts
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 50g Parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus extra for serving
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 150g fresh or frozen peas
  • 150g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Boil the potatoes whole in their skins in a large pot of salted water for 25-30 minutes until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

2

While still warm, peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer or mash until completely smooth. Spread on a clean surface to cool for 5 minutes.

3

Create a well in the centre of the mashed potato. Add the gluten-free flour, egg yolk, and salt. Gently mix together until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork.

4

Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 1.5cm thick rope on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 2cm pieces to create mini gnocchi.

5

For the pesto, add the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan to a food processor. Pulse while slowly drizzling in the olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

6

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the asparagus pieces for 2 minutes, then add the peas and cook for another minute. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and set aside.

7

In the same boiling water, cook the gnocchi in batches. They are ready when they float to the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon.

8

Toss the warm gnocchi with the spring pesto, cooked asparagus, and peas in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and gently combine.

9

Serve immediately in warmed bowls, topped with extra grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
