Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the fresh Gnocchi in salted boiling water for 1 minute with a little bit of oil, this stops it from sticking together. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the boiled gnocchi to a bowl making sure you shake off excess water from it. Then transfer it on a kitchen towel to drain off more liquid. Reserve about a cup of water and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Drain the sundried Tomatoes and set aside vinaigrette. Cut sundried Tomatoes in quarters.

  3. 3

    Heat flavoured olive oil and half the vinaigrette in a skillet over medium high heat until hot,
    fry Chicken in batchs and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add Olive Oil and remaining vinaigrette to the skillet and heat again to shimmering, carefully add the Gnocchi in batches in a single layer. Leave it to cook on that one side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Using a fork or a slotted turner, flip the Gnocchi to the other side and fry for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Add the sundried Tomatoes, Basil, Garlic, Salt and Pepper and carefully mix to combine. Cook for another 1 minute, then add the Spinach with about 80 ml of the pasta water, cover the skillet and cook for about 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Add the Chicken and Gnocchi back into the skillet and stir through.
