Cooking time: 40 minutes

For the gnocchi

Ingredients (3 servings)
350 g Young peas (deep-frozen)
1 tablespoon(s) Olive oil
1 bunch Basil
200 g Type 00 flour (pizza flour)
Salt
Pepper

For the grilled tomatoes

Ingredients (3 servings)
700 g Small cherry tomatoes, red and yellow
4 tablespoon(s) Olive oil
2 Garlic cloves
Salt

To serve

Ingredients (3 servings)
200 g Young peas (deep-frozen)
1 bunch Basil
Parmesan cheese
  • For the gnocchi, pour 2 liters of boiling water over the frozen peas in a pan, stir, drain after 1 minute and leave to drain well. Mix with olive oil, salt, pepper and the basil leaves in a blender to a smooth puree. Knead into a smooth dough in a bowl with the flour. If necessary, add a little flour if the dough is too sticky - maximum 50 grams. Roll the dough into long sausages and divide into gnocchi. Roll them into balls in your hands; they should be slightly smaller than the cherry tomatoes.
  • Preheat the grill to the highest setting, mix the tomatoes on a baking tray with olive oil and grated garlic. Salt and grill for 20 minutes until the skins have burst and are slightly charred.
  • Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in plenty of boiling salted water until they rise to the surface. Remove and toss with chopped basil and the remaining peas in a pan with a little olive oil. Salt. Mix with the grilled tomatoes, garnish with basil leaves and serve with plenty of coarsely grated Parmesan.
