Monica Galetti's gnocchi with fennel and horseradish sauce recipe
Fresh gnocchi with a strong aniseed flavour, doled out with a creamy horseradish sauce.
Monica says: "Gnocchi is so easy to make that after the first time you can start searing with many other flavour combinations, I like mine crispy but you can add them to dishes straight after blanching great for mid-week dinners as they will keep once blanched in the fridge for up to 3 days."

Step-by-step
- To make the gnocchi: mix the hot potato without the skins to smooth then knead in the flour and chopped fennel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Divide mix into two and roll out to a thick sausage about 2cm wide. Use a sharp knife to cut bite size pieces.
- Bring a pan of salted water to boil. Place the gnocchi in to cook. When it floats to the top it is ready
- Scoop out with a slotted spoon and refresh in ice cold water and drain if you are not serving immediately.
- Heat a non-stick pan and drizzle with a little oil, pan fry the gnocchi to crispy or golden brown, add fennel seeds and cook for 1 minute.
- To make the sauce: place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to boil, cover and leave warm until ready to serve. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blitz with a hand blender or whisk together before serving.
- Serve immediately with some wilted thinly sliced fennel tossed in a little oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
