I save the woody ends and less desirable prices of asparagus to make the stock for this recipe. You make the stock anytime and freeze to save for later.

Tips

To make this dish- sauté the gnocchi (basic recipe or purchase premade) in brown butter and set aside. To a warm pan add a TBSP of butter, 7-8 cherry tomatoes halved, 6 sticks of asparagus cut into smaller pieces, 1 cup of spinach, salt and pepper to taste, cook 1-2 mins, deglaze pan with white wine and add your asparagus butter sauce.
Split the sauce onto 2 plates, add the gnocchi, and grate fresh pecorino cheese over the top to finish.
