Ingredients

  • 130g Lamb Leg
  • 130g gnocchi
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pan-fry the gnocchi in a non-stick pan for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.

  3. 3

    Cut the lamb into strips, season well and stir-fry or griddle over high heat for 4-5 minutes until browned but still juicy.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the courgette and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: gnocchi first, then the veg and lamb, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
