Creamy Mushroom & Parmesan Gnocchi

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and butter and cook until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a separate large frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the gnocchi in a single layer and fry, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi. TIP: Add more olive oil if the gnocchi is sticking to the pan. TIP: No need to boil the gnocchi before frying!

Return the pan containing the mushrooms to a low heat and stir in the light cooking cream, salt, grated Parmesan cheese (reserve some for garnish!) and baby spinach leaves until wilted, 1-2 minutes. When the mixture is heated through, add the gnocchi to the pan and stir to combine.

Thinly slice the pear (see ingredients). In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and a good drizzle of olive oil. Add the rocket leaves and pear to the dressing and toss to coat.
