Another use up tea, super quick, idea to plate in less than ten minutes.

You will need

  • A pack of gnocchi
  • A large leek, finely sliced
  • A good grating of Parmesan
  • A couple of tablespoons of sour cream
  • A couple of teaspoons of vegetable oil

Do

  • Cook the leeks in a teaspoon of oil on a pretty high heat until mostly translucent and a few crispy bits then set aside
  • Boil the gnocchi in boiling salted water for 2 minutes then drain and set aside
  • Put a a couple of teaspoons of vegetable oil into a non-stick pan on a high heat
  • Add the gnocchi, cook for a few minutes, tossing occupationally. You want some of the pieces to have crunchy bottoms.
  • Add the leeks, cream, parmesan and a good grating of black pepper to the pan and stir round until everything is well coated
  • Serve

Results

Crispy bits, chewy bits, creamy and not too rich, the leek flavour carries though. Perfect on a cold winter evening.
