To prepare Potato Gnocchi :

- Measure tablespoons of mixture and create the gnocchi shape using remaining flour to help form ovals. Fill a large, deep-sided frying pan with salted water. Bring to the boil.
- Add gnocchi to the pan in batches. Allow gnocchi to rise to the surface. Cook a further three minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a warm serving dish. Pour over sauté of peas, broad beans and sage and serve with shaved Parmesan.
To prepare Saute of Peas, Broad Beans and Sage :
- Thaw frozen broad beans and remove skins. Mix with peas. Peel onion and chop finely. Melt butter in a saucepan.
- Add onion and cook for one minute, stirring often. Add beans, peas, chopped sundried tomatoes and sage leaves. Cook covered over a gentle heat for five minutes. Add salt and pepper.
