Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

For the gnocchetti:

  • 200 g chickpea flour
  • 50 g all-purpose flour + extra for dusting
  • 60 g buckwheat flour
  • 150 ml water
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste

For the turnip greens pesto:

  • 250 g turnip greens
  • 15 g sun-dried tomatoes
  • 20 g pine nuts
  • 40 g olive oil
  • 20 g Delicius anchovy fillets in spicy sauce

 

Instructions:

For the gnocchetti:

  1. In a bowl, combine the flours, gradually add warm water, olive oil, and salt, and mix until a dough forms. Adjust with water or flour to achieve a workable consistency.
  2. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into thin logs. Cut into 1 cm pieces, and use a fork to create ridges on each gnocchetto.

For the turnip greens pesto:

  1. While making the gnocchetti, rehydrate the sun-dried tomatoes in warm water until soft.
  2. In a food processor, combine the rehydrated tomatoes, blanched and squeezed turnip greens, toasted pine nuts, olive oil, 3–4 Delicius anchovy fillets in spicy sauce, and a spoonful of the anchovy sauce. Blend until smooth. Transfer the pesto to a skillet.

To finish:

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchetti for a few seconds until they float.
  2. Drain and toss the gnocchetti in the skillet with the turnip greens pesto. Serve garnished with additional toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of the spicy anchovy sauce.
