Rick Stein’s Gnocchi With Tomatoes, Prawns & Basil Recipe

This deeply comforting gnocchi recipe is easier than you think — a few herbs make things feel special.

British celebrity chef Rick Stein shares a recipe for gnocchi from his new book, Simple Suppers.

Using a pack of ready-made gnocchi makes this a really quick supper. Peeling the prawns and boiling up the shells takes a few moments but it’s well worth it to extract every bit of their wonderful flavour.
