Woah yum gnocci from house mate!

Twina made this reaaaly reaaaaaly yummy dish tonight- from an actual food website- I think its http://www.taste.com.au just to reference correctly.

The only thing she did differently with it is put in a can of chick pea's.. if you ask me I think that Hallumi would go splendid in this!


Ingredients (serves 4)

* 500g fresh potato gnocchi
* 1 cup light thickened cream
* 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato pesto
* 150g chargrilled capsicum, finely chopped
* 150g baby spinach
* 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method

1. Cook gnocchi in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain. Preheat grill on medium-high.
2. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add cream and pesto. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add capsicum and spinach. Cook for 1 minute or until spinach has just wilted.
3. Add gnocchi to cream mixture. Toss to combine. Transfer to a greased 6cm-deep, 8 cup-capacity baking dish. Top with cheese. Cook under grill for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
