Ingredients

  • 100g flat-leaf parsley, leaves only
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 40g cashew nuts, toasted
  • 120ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 40g grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative, plus extra to serve
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 500g bag gnocchi
  • 450g green beans, halved

Method

  1. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and whizz in a food processor with the garlic, nuts and oil to a smooth consistency. Transfer to a bowl and stir through the parmesan and lemon zest, season and set aside. 

  2. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi and beans, and boil for 2-3 mins or until the gnocchi floats to the top of the pan. Drain and toss the gnocchi and beans with the pesto, then divide between four bowls. Finish with a little extra shaved parmesan, if you like.
