Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Set a dry frying pan on a medium heat and tip in the walnut halves. Toast for 2 mins, shaking the pan often, till the walnuts are lightly browned and smell nutty. Tip out into a bowl and set aside. Set the frying pan to one side.

  • 2.

    Peel and finely slice the red onion. Peel and grate or crush the garlic. Put the frying pan back on a medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and fry, stirring often, for 10 mins till the onion is golden and soft.

  • 3.

    Meanwhile, fill a large pan with hot water from the kettle, topping it up with more water if necessary. Set on a high heat, bring back to the boil then add the gnocchi. Simmer for 4-5 mins, till the gnocchi float to the surface. When they bob up, they're ready, so drain them.

  • 4.

    While the gnocchi cook, finely grate the zest from the lemon. Add the garlic and lemon to the onion and cook, stirring, for 1 min.

  • 5.

    Add the baby leaf spinach to the onion with 2 tbsp cold water and fry, stirring, for 2 mins to just wilt the spinach. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch more salt or pepper if needed. Stir to mix, then add the gnocchi and toss together.

  • 6.

    Divide the gnocchi and veg between 2 warm plates. Crumble over the toasted walnuts and the feta, and serve.
