Ingredients

  • 200g lentils
  • 160g gnocchi
  • 80g spinach
  • 80g kale
  • 200g chopped tomatoes
  • 9g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • 8g parmesan

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and kale, 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

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: gnocchi first, then the veg and green lentil, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the parmesan.
