Gnocchi really has it going on, these little pockets of deliciousness are stirred through a creamy sauce tonight with pork and veggies. The fragrant herbs and sharp Parmesan transform this into a real treat with homey flavours and a lot of gnocchi.
Unfortunately, this week's silverbeet was in short supply, so we've replaced it with baby spinach. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!
