Bring a large pan of water to the boil, reduce the heat slightly then drop the gnocchi into the simmering water.

There was sent to the bottom at 1st, but as they cook they will rise to the surface - that would take about 2 minutes, then simmer gently for about another minute

Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transferred to a lightly greased and warmed ovenproof dish

Sprinkle the gnocchi with a little Parmesan cheese and grill under a high heat for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned

Meanwhile heat the butter in a pan and stir in the lemon rind and juice, basil and seasoning

Pour a quarter of the hot butter over each portion of the lucky and garnish with fresh basil

Serve hot
