For the gnocchi

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until the gnocchi rises to the surface. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain, leave aside to dry off before you pan-fry the gnocchi. Heat some butter or oil in a pan to medium temperature. Add the gnocchi and fry for 3 minutes until they are golden brown.

For the mushrooms

Add the onion and garlic to the gnocchi and cook for 3 minutes until the onion has softened. Reduce heat to medium, add the thyme, and cook for a further minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes or until they are brown and all of the liquid has completely reduced down

To serve

While the gnocchi is still in the pan, dress with the olive oil and lemon juice. Divide between bowls, top with some parmesan and enjoy.

For the filling

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, garlic, and carrot, saute for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have sweated down. Add the lentils, Worcestershire sauce, and the red wine and cook for 2 minutes to burn off the alcohol. Throw in the diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. While this is simmering you can boil your gnocchi.

For the gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the gnocchi and boil for 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi rises to the surface. Strain and transfer to a small bowl and allow to cool, you may need to add a dash of oil to stop the gnocchi balls from sticking to each other.

Place the vegetable mixture into an ovenproof dish – one that’s big enough to leave enough space for the gnocchi. Start to lay out your gnocchi balls over the top of the mixture so that it’s completely covered, season the gnocchi with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Place the dish into the oven on the top shelf for 10 minutes or until the gnocchi has turned golden brown.

To serve

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes – if you serve straight away the pie will fall apart. Using a spatula divide the shepherds pie between plates and garnish with some fresh parsley. Enjoy this hearty winter classic!
