  • In the meantime heat some olive oil in another large frying pan. Add the fresh gnocchis straight from the bag (there is no need to precook them). Pan-fry the gnocchi for 8-10 mins until crisp and golden.
  • When the mushrooms are cooked, add the spinach and the chopped sundried tomatoes and cook until the spinach is wilted.
  • Mix together the pan-fried gnocchi, spinach and mushroom mix and cashew sauce in one of the pan. Season to taste.
