I really don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen during the working week – we wouldn’t eat til midnight! – so this meal is designed with minimal preparation and a lightning fast cooking time in mind.
Here’s what to do to make this garlic vegetable gnocchi – feeds four.

Equipment
Instructions
