The method

1

Bring a large pot of water to the boil.

2

Peel and finely chop the garlic, then remove the leaves from the rosemary stem, chop finely. Remove the kale leaves from the tough stems and roughly chop.

3

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic, crumble in the chilli - fry until lightly golden.

4

Drain the beans and add to the pan with 150ml of water. Season well. Bring to the boil then crush the beans in the pan with a wooden spoon. Add créme fraîche and kale. Add a splash of water to wilt the kale, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat.

5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add rosemary and breadcrumbs, then fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden, stirring regularly. Season well to your liking.

6

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook until it floats, then drain, but reserve a mug full of the water.

7

The sauce should look quite wet, as the beans and gnocchi will continue to absorb a lot of liquid. Finely grate the Parmesan and stir half through the gnocchi.

8

Squeeze some lemon juice into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season. Toss the salad in this dressing.

9

Divide the gnocchi between plates, scatter with the breadcrumbs and remaining parmesan. Serve with lemon in wedges and the salad piled on top. Enjoy!
