How to prepare Leek and shrimp gnocchi

Prepare the potato gnocchi (click Potato gnocchi to see the recipe) and let them rest in a cool place covered with a lightly floured cloth 1. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce that will be used to dress the gnocchi, starting by slicing the leek into thin rounds 2 and wilting it over low heat in a large pan with the already hot oil and butter 3.

Then cut the zucchini, removing the central part 4, and slice them into julienne strips 5. Add them to the pan with the wilted leek and let them cook 6.

In the meantime, boil the shrimp in boiling water for about three to four minutes, drain them, and shell them. Add them to the leek and zucchini in the pan 8. Cut the cherry tomatoes into wedges 9 and add them to the pan. As soon as they start to soften, add the tomato puree and let it cook for another five minutes 10.

Meanwhile, after bringing a pot of salted water to a boil, boil the gnocchi 11, drain them well, and add them to the sauce in the pan. Serve your hot leek and shrimp gnocchi with a sprinkle of fresh parsley 12.
