INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package of Gnocchiamo organic potato gnocchi with whole wheat flour
  • 0.5 kg of asparagus

  • 2 tablespoons of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
  • 2 tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil
    chives
  • Pecorino Sardo cheese
  • 1 pinch of salt
Difficulty: Easy Preparation: 35 min Serving: 2 people

PREPARATION

Clean the asparagus, remove the woody ends, and set aside the tips. Slice the asparagus stalks into thin rounds, a few millimeters thick. Thinly slice the spring onions, both the white and green parts.

In a pan, combine the sliced asparagus and spring onions, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and cook over medium-low heat for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

After this cooking time, add the asparagus tips and bring a large pot of water to a boil to cook the gnocchi.

Continue cooking the asparagus for another ten minutes, adding a few tablespoons of gnocchi cooking water if they become too dry.

Cook the gnocchi for a few minutes until they float to the surface, then remove them and transfer them to the pan with the asparagus and spring onions.

Toss the gnocchi for a minute to coat them with the sauce, add a sprig of parsley and some chopped chives, and finish with a few shavings of semi-aged pecorino cheese. Serve immediately.
