With velvety gnocchi, creamy goat's cheese and fresh greens, this recipe is a treat throughout the year.
Once the gnocchi is made it can be frozen and then cooked straight from frozen.
Use your hands to work the mixture into a ball, making sure it is mixed well.
Divide the dough into pieces and roll out on a floured board until about 1.5cm in diameter, cut into pieces around the thickness of your thumb. Use a fork to press the gnocchi lightly.
Drop the gnocchi into boiling, salted water in batches. When they float to the surface they're cooked. Remove and drop into a bowl of chilled water. Continue with the remainder until you've used up all the dough.
Stir in the wine and mix until you have a thick paste. Now add the water a little at a time until you have a smooth sauce.
Stir in the cream and adjust the seasoning. Add additional water to make a smooth velouté, which covers the back of a spoon.
Pour boiling water from the kettle over the mangetout and leeks. Leave to stand for 2 minutes, then drain.
Mix the mushrooms, leeks, mangetout and chopped parsley into your sauce. Pour a portion into each serving bowl.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the gnocchi, tossing them around gently to give a little colour.
Add a portion of the gnocchi on top of the sauce in each bowl. Top with a few pea shoots and then drizzle around the oil.
