I love gnocchi, and I don't cook with it enough. I also love a creamy pasta and this one is made without any dairy substitutes, just good old fashioned beans, and delicious charred artichokes for an extra dose of flavour.

Method

Blend all of the ingredients for the sauce until completely smooth.

Boil your gnocchi for a few minutes. While it boils, heat the butter and olive oil in a medium large pan over a medium heat. Once melted, spoon in the gnocchi (reserving some of the pasta water) and fry gently for a minute or so.

Spoon in the sauce and loosen with a generous ladle of pasta water. Stir everything together over a high heat until the sauce emulsifies and becomes nice and glossy. Fold in the fresh parsley then pour the saucy gnocchi into an oven proof dish, top with breadcrumbs, nooch and more truffle oil.

Place the gnocchi under the grill until bubbling and golden brown on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
