For the pesto cream sauce:

To serve:

  Method:
  1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and dust lightly with flour.
  2. In a bowl, combine the Ricotta, eggs, 100g of the Parmesan, the oregano and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the flour and stir to form a wet dough.
  3. Transfer the dough out onto a floured surface. Use lightly-floured hands to roll it into two sausages, each about 2cm thick. With a floured knife, slice the sausages into 2cm pieces.
  4. Place the gnocchi on the prepared baking tray and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  5. Cook the chilled gnocchi in two batches in a large pot of boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes per batch. When cooked, lift the gnocchi out with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander.
  6. Meanwhile, heat the pesto in a pan over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the cream and heat, stirring, until warm.
  7. Add the gnocchi to the sauce and toss to coat. Stir in the rocket and divide between serving bowls. Top with extra Parmesan, if desired.
