Gnocchi with roasted garlic tomatoes & white beans

If you’ve had a long day and are in need of some hearty comfort food then try this super easy tray bake of loveliness.
Gnocchi is brilliant because it’s filling and really quick to cook but it can be a bit heavy if you serve it with a rich cheesy sauce. I find if you opt for a lighter tomato-based sauce you won’t need a nap after dinner. Hopefully…

Serves 2

Ingredients
1 packet of fresh Gnocchi (400g)
2 tsp red pesto
1 tin of cannellini beans
A packet of vine tomatoes (medium sized, about 10 tomatoes)
2 cloves garlic
30g pecorino or parmesan cheese, finely grated.

Method
Preheat the oven to 200c
Drain and rinse the beans
Put the beans and tomatoes into a large roasting dish
Add two crushed cloves of garlic, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, salt and pepper
Roast for about 20mins (or until the tomatoes soften slightly)
While your beans and tomatoes are cooking put a pan of water on to boil and cook your Gnocchi according to packet instructions
When your roasted beans and tomatoes are ready, remove from the oven, add a tablespoon of red pesto and gently mix to mingle all those flavors

Top your Gnocchi with your roasted tomatoes and beans, sprinkle with all that lovely cheese.

Harissa roasted sweet potatoes with blue cheese

I love sweet potatoes and can’t seem to stop eating them at the moment. Stacked full of fibre, they are a fantastic alternative to white potatoes, especially if you’re trying to balance your blood sugar levels but still fancy some carbs. I love to roast them whole and then top with hummus and sprouted seeds.

This recipe is one of my current lunchtime favourites and is great served with cold meat and salad or just as they are, warm from the oven with fresh cheese crumbled over them. Delicious.

Should serve 2/3 people – depending on your portion size!

You will need
2 teaspoons of harissa paste
2 medium size sweet potatoes
Sea salt
A table spoon of olive oil
100g of blue cheese (I used Brighton Blue, my local favourite, but silton will do)

Method
Pre-heat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Wash the sweet potato and then chop it into wedge-shaped chunks (leaving the skin on)
Place in a mixing bowl with the harissa paste, a good pinch of seasalt and the olive oil. 3.) Mix well until all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Place in the oven for around 30 mins or until the potatoes are crisp on the outside but soft inside.
Crumble with your blue cheese and serve.
