To Serve

  • 30g grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 pack sliced almonds

Sauce

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp plain flour
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 50g baby spinach

Pumpkin

  • 1 butternut pumpkin, peeled & diced
  • 1/2 leek, sliced 1cm
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 drizzle of oil

Gnocchi

  • 1 drizzle of oil

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C (or 210°C fan bake). Set aside a small baking dish (approx. 20cm x 20cm).
  2. Peel and dice pumpkin, slice leek and thinly slice onion. Spread in a single layer on a lined oven tray and toss with oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 15-20 minutes, until tender and golden. Remove from oven and switch to high grill.
  3. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook gnocchi for about 10 minutes, until gnocchi is golden. Transfer to a small baking dish.
  4. Heat butter in a small pot on medium-high heat. When butter is melted, add flour and cook for 1 minute, until sandy in texture. Whisk in milk, 1/2 cup at a time, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir through spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Add roast veggies to dish with gnocchi and toss gently to combine. Top with sauce and sprinkle with crumbled feta and Parmesan. Grill in oven for about 3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  6. Cheesy gnocchi gratin topped with almonds.
