Method
-
Put the sunflower seeds in a food processor and blitz until partially broken down. Boil the peas for 3 mins and steam the spinach for 1 min. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool, then drain really well. Set aside half the spinach and peas to stir through later.
-
Use your hands to squeeze excess water out of the remaining veg, then transfer to the food processor. Add the herbs, lemon zest and juice, and blend to finely chop, then add the cream and blend again until you have a bright green sauce. Pulse through the cheese and season to taste.
-
Cook the gnocchi to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 4 tbsp of the pasta water, then return the gnocchi to the pan and toss with the sauce and the reserved cooking water to loosen. Gently stir through the reserved green veg. Serve with extra pecorino and garlic bread, if you like.
