Method

  1. Place the spinach in a colander over the sink and pour over a kettle of freshly boiled water to wilt. Set aside.​ 
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins, tossing regularly, until softened. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, the mushrooms, garlic and gnocchi and cook for a further 6-8 mins until the mushrooms have softened and the gnocchi is crisp. Stir through the spinach and stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 3-5 mins, stirring regularly until the gnocchi is lightly coated in a glossy sauce.​ 
  3. Top the gnocchi with teaspoons of the garlic and herb soft cheese, allowing it to melt in. Sprinkle over the parsley and season with a grind of freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately with a rocket salad on the side, if you like.
