Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Baked gnocchi is my new favourite dish, and I’ve been putting everything in it: spring greens, mushrooms, broccoli . . . It’s also perfect for using up odds and ends of cheese left over in the fridge. (For some reason, the combination of Dijon mustard and Swiss chard in this recipe reminded me of bacon, even though it’s completely vegetarian, so it’s a good dish for meat-free Mondays, or for veggies with nostalgia.)

Ingredients

2 leeks, sliced into ½cm half moons
200g rainbow or Swiss chard, roughly sliced
500g gnocchi
250ml double cream
2 heaped tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sea salt flakes
freshly ground black pepper
125g soft goat’s cheese log, crumbled
50g panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/gas 7. Tip the leeks, sliced chard and gnocchi into a large bowl, pour a kettleful of boiling water over them and leave to stand for 2 minutes. Drain really well, then tip the veg and gnocchi into a roasting tin large enough to sit everything in a single layer.

Stir through the double cream and Dijon mustard and season with the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Scatter over the goat’s cheese, then the panko breadcrumbs and drizzle with the olive oil.

Transfer to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp. Serve hot.
