The big bag of Giovanni Rana gnocchi was a solid find this week, so I grabbed pesto and mini biscottes to make a fast meal. From the cupboard, you will only need salt, olive oil, and pepper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Roughly crush 40 g of mini biscottes and warm them in a pan with one teaspoon of olive oil for two minutes.
- Drop 500 g of gnocchi into the boiling water and cook for two minutes until they float.
- Drain the gnocchi and transfer them directly into the warm pan.
- Turn off the heat and gently mix in 140 g of pesto sauce until evenly coated.
- Season with black pepper and scatter the crushed biscottes on top before serving.
Parmesan Gnocchi with Crisp Lettuce
From the Auchan leaflet
- Giovanni Rana Gnocchi cuisson à l'eau 1kg, 1 kg, 5.14 €/kg: €4.23 (was €6.05, 30% off)
- Giovanni Rana Sauce au Parmesan 180g, 180 g, 13.17 €/kg: €2.37 (was €3.59, 34% off)

There was still half of the gnocchi pack left to use, and pairing it with parmesan sauce and crisp lettuce makes an easy supper. The pantry items you need are salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
- Cook 500 g of gnocchi for two minutes until they float to the surface.
- Tear 75 g of lettuce leaves into bite size pieces.
- Whisk one tablespoon of olive oil, one teaspoon of vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then toss the lettuce in the dressing.
- Drain the gnocchi and return them to the pot along with 180 g of parmesan sauce.
- Stir over low heat for one minute until hot and creamy, then serve with the dressed lettuce.
Garlic Lemon Linguine with Salad
From the Auchan leaflet
- Barilla Linguine al bronzo 500g, 500 g, 3.58 €/kg: €1.79 (was €2.55, 30% off)
- The Manna Mini Biscottes de Blé à l'Huile d'Olive 150g, 150 g, 16.80 €/kg: €1.89 (was €3.15, 40% off)

Shopping for this dish: €5.07 at Auchan, about 20 minutes in the kitchen, 2 servings.
Barilla linguine was also on sale in the leaflet, so using the remaining biscottes and salad for a fresh pasta plate was an easy call. From your pantry, grab garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a lemon.
- Cook 250 g of linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water for ten minutes until al dente.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over low heat with two minced cloves of garlic for two minutes.
- Crush 40 g of mini biscottes into coarse crumbs.
- Toss 75 g of lettuce in a bowl with one teaspoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Drain the linguine, reserve two tablespoons of cooking water, and toss the pasta into the garlic oil with one teaspoon of lemon juice.
- Plate the linguine topped with crushed biscottes and black pepper, and serve alongside the salad.
