Before you start

  • Turn the grill to high (240C)
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve, a medium ovenproof dish & a medium bowl

Get started

  • Quarter the tomatoes. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds
  • Add the green beans to the saucepan and cook for 1 min, then add the gnocchi and simmer for 2 mins, or until they float to the surface
  • Drain both and return to the pan, then add the pesto, yoghurt, garlic herb paste, half the tomatoes and 2 tbsp water (1 tbsp for 1 person)
  • Mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper

Time to grill

  • Transfer the gnocchi to the medium ovenproof dish. Crumble the feta over top
  • Place under the grill for 6-8 mins, until golden and bubbling

Meanwhile, make the salad

  • Thinly slice the shallot
  • Add the shallot and remaining tomatoes to the medium bowl with the balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat

Plate up

  • When ready to serve, add the salad leaves to the bowl and toss to coat
