Fill your kettle and boil it, then fill a large pan with the boiling water. Top the pan up with a bit more water. Add a pinch of salt. Put the pan on a high heat and bring to the boil.
- 2.
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the red onion. Put a deep frying pan or wok on a medium heat. Add ½ tbsp olive oil and the onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry, stirring, for 8 mins till the onion is glossy and starting to soften.
- 3.
While the onion fries, peel and crush or grate the garlic cloves. Finely grate the zest from the lemon.
- 4.
The water in the pan should be boiling by now. Add the gnocchi and simmer for 3 mins – the gnocchi will start bobbing to the surface of the pan. That's when they're ready to be drained.
- 5.
While the gnocchi cook, stir the garlic and lemon zest into the onion and fry, stirring, for 2 mins. Tip in the spinach and stir to mix. Drain the gnocchi and set to one side.
- 6.
Add 1 tsp ground coriander to the spinach and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins till the spinach is wilted. Pour in the soya cream and gently warm, stirring, for 2 mins.
- 7.
Taste the spinach and add a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the gnocchi and gently stir to mix.
- 8.
Spoon the gnocchi and spinach sauce onto 2 warm plates. Serve with the remaining lemon, sliced into wedges for squeezing.
