Lemon Gnocchi With Greens And Peas

This dish can accommodate komatsuna, bok choy, mizuna, tatsoi, spinach or a combination – feel free to experiment. The lemon in this dish brings a light taste to the pasta. When the gnocchi begins to float to the surface of the water, you know it’s done.
1 cup snap or shelling peas
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 garlic clove, smashed
3 cups packed greens (3 ounces)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons, salt
1 pound dried gnocchi
1/4 cup grated parmesan
Simmer peas with cream, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 12-inch heavy skillet, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add greens and cook over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring, until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and juice. Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta-cooking water, then drain gnocchi. Add gnocchi to sauce with cheese and some of reserved cooking water and stir to coat. Thin with additional cooking water if necessary.
Serves 4.
