Add the whole potatoes and water into a large pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 30 minutes.

2

While the potatoes are boiling, start on the pesto.

Place all of the pesto ingredients into a food processor and blitz for approximately 15 seconds, or until you have reached the desired consistency. Set aside.

Once the potatoes have cooked through, drain the water and peel. Place them in a bowl and mash and set aside to cool.

Combine the mashed potato, flour, egg and salt and pepper and start to knead the mixture.

Roll sections of the mixture into "ropes". Cut into pieces about 2 cm in length.

In a pan over a medium heat, add the butter and garlic. Fry the gnocchi until golden on both sides. Add the pesto and cook for a further minute.

Mix through the smoked salmon and peas. Serve in two bowls and top with grated parmesan, micro herbs and basil. Add extra salt and pepper if needed.
