- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the pepper and leek and cook gently for 6-8 mins until softened.
- Cook the gnocchi in lots of boiling water for 2 mins. Drain, reserving 75ml of the cooking water.
- Whisk the reserved cooking water and Parmesan into the leeks to make a cheesy sauce. Tip in the gnocchi and stir to coat. Serve topped with the rocket leaves.
- Tip: Enjoy the remaining gnocchi with a pesto made from the remainder of the rocket leaves. The gnocchi can also be kept in a sealed bag and frozen.
