This is a fool-proof mid-week dinner as it’s simple to make (using pre-made gnocchi) and is on the table in less than 30 minutes. 

Ingredients

• 75g pancetta cubes
• 1 clove garlic
• 200ml chicken stock
• 100g frozen peas
• 100ml double cream
• 400g gnocchi
• handful of basil, shredded

Instructions

1. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the pancetta cubes until they are golden and the fat is rendered.
2. Stir in the garlic for a minute then add the chicken stock. Simmer until reduced by half.
3. Add the peas, cream and parmesan cheese and stir until the peas are heated through (about 2 mins).
4. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to the packet instructions. Drain well, then tip into the sauce along with the basil.
