Serves2

Ingredients

1/2 head of broccoli, chopped
1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cans cannelini beans
Vegetable stock
1 large handful of kale or spinach
Chilli flakes
Herbamare (veggie spice)
250 grams gluten-free gnocchi (about 1/2 pound)
Fresh parsely
Black pepper, ground

Instructions

Boil the broccoli and cauliflower for about 15 minutes until tender.
Then, add the minced garlic. Pour into blender, or use a bar mix, adding a can of cannelini beans (this will thicken it!). Blend until smooth.
Return to heat and add torn kale or spinach leaves, another can of cannelini beans and season with salt and pepper. Add chilli flakes, veggie stock to taste, basil and fresh parsley.
Add the gluten free gnocchi last, ensuring you watch it (allow it to cook for about 3 minutes) and stir gently so you dont crush the gnocchi and beans.
Top with more chilli flake and enjoy!
