100 g rocket leaves

Slow-roasted cherry tomatoes

Pre heat your oven to 90 c. for the tomatoes, place garlic, thyme and tomatoes in a bowl. drizzle with oil, then season and toss to combine. Transfer to a paper lined baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes or so until the tomatoes are soft and caramelised.

to make gnudi.. combine all ingredients in a bowl to form a soft dough. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each into a long 1cm thick roll. It can be thicker. Depending on required taste. cut into 2cm pieces.   Make sure they are cut similar sizes.  gently roll gnudi and dust with a little extra flour to,avoid sticking. Then press each on with a fork to leave an indent. Place on a single baking tray and freeze for 15 minuto or until firm.

For the pesto....place rocket, garlic, oil and almonds in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and fold through the parmesan. . season to required taste.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil. in batches, cook gnudi for 3-4 minutes until they rise to the surface. Almost done!

Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Toss gnudi with pesto and serve with your oven roasted cherry tomatoes.
