Method
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in the frying pan and fry the spring onions over a medium heat until softened. Stir in the pesto, crème fraîche and frozen peas, then cook until the peas have defrosted and warmed through.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the gnocchi according to the pack instructions (about 2-3 minutes), then drain well.
- Stir the drained gnocchi into the pesto sauce, then add the spinach and most of the basil. Season to taste with black pepper and lemon juice. Divide the gnocchi among 4 plates and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts, remaining basil and pecorino to serve.
