- Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°, gas 7. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof pan over a medium heat. Add two sprigs of basil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the leaves begin to crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Return the pan to the heat and pour in the passata. Stir in the cream cheese and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Meanwhile, pick and finely chop the cooled crispy basil leaves and stir through the sauce.
- Fold in the gnocchi and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Sprinkle over ¾ of the pecorino, then transfer to the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden.
- Meanwhile, steam the green beans and peas for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the gnocchi from the oven and scatter over the remaining cheese. Tear over the basil leaves and serve with the beans and peas.
