Nutrition: Per serving
Heat a large, dry frying pan over a medium heat and fry the gnocchi for 5-6 mins until golden and crisp. Remove to a bowl.
Meanwhile, for the breadcrumbs, put the bread, herbs and garlic in a food processor and pulse to coarse crumbs. Heat half the oil in the pan over a medium heat and toast the breadcrumbs for 6-8 mins until golden all over. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the parmesan and season.
Cook the onion in the same pan with the remaining oil until soft and lightly browned, about 8-10 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more until fragrant. Mix in the cavolo nero, peas and 350ml water, season well, cover and cook over a medium-high heat for 10-15 mins until softened and tender. Transfer to a blender with the lemon zest and blitz until smooth. Stir the sauce into the bowl with the gnocchi and season to taste.
Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and serve immediately, either on its own or with a side salad.
