Notes

If using shelf-stable gnocchi, you might want to consider pan-frying it before adding it to your pan. This helps crisp up the gnocchi and is much nicer than boiling it!
Top Tips Chef's Notes
  • Make sure to use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar-it adds so much extra flavor.
  • Taste and balance with lemon and salt at the end-it really brightens everything up.
  • If your sauce gets too thick, splash in a bit more broth or cream to loosen it.
Store any leftovers for up to 3-4 days, adding a splash of water before reheating. Reheat on the hob or in the microwave until piping hot.
