Cooking Steps
• Finely chop celery. Grate the carrot.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add celery, carrot and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Season with pepper and cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic paste and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• While the veggies are cooking, heat a second large frying pan over medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, add gnocchi (see ingredients) in a single layer and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Season to taste.
TIP: Allow the undersides to become golden before tossing! TIP: Add extra olive oil if the gnocchi sticks to the pan.
• To the pan of veggies, add tinned cherry tomatoes (including the sauce!), the plantbased butter, brown sugar, vegetable stock powder and the water, then season with pepper. Stir to combine and simmer until fragrant, 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add cucumber, rocket leaves and roasted hazelnuts, then toss to coat. Season to taste.
• Divide bacon and veggie-loaded gnocchi between bowls. Top with tomato sugo and sprinkle with plant-based grated cheese. • Serve with green hazelnut salad. Enjoy!
TIP: The plant-based cheese has a unique texture. Use less or leave it out if you're not a fan!
