Davide's Gnocchi with Zucchini and Almonds

Pillowy Gnocchi Made the Way Davide’s Family Always Did

“Gnocchi is probably one of my favourite dishes. I’ve got so many memories of my childhood – I used to make it with my mum every Sunday and I still use the same recipe to this day.” - Davide

There’s nothing quite like gnocchi made by hand. Davide’s recipe, passed down through his family, creates those perfectly pillowy little dumplings that melt in your mouth while still holding onto all the flavours of the sauce. It’s simple, honest Italian cooking that celebrates patience, tradition and good ingredients.

This dish brings the gnocchi to life with bursts of sweet cherry tomatoes, tender zucchini and a sprinkle of toasted almonds for crunch. A light passata, garlic and basil sauce ties everything together, giving balance and brightness. It’s a beautiful mix of flavours and textures – soft, juicy, nutty, and fresh – the kind of comforting meal that makes you feel instantly at home.

Cooked with ❤️ by Davide.
