Directions

1. To make the pesto, put the basil, spinach, Parmesan, salt and half the olive oil in a blender or mini food processor and blend. Keep adding oil, until your pesto is smooth. Season the pesto with a squeeze of lemon juice, and more salt, if needed.
2. Put the bacon in a small, cold frying pan and set it over a medium–high heat. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
3. Cook the gnocchi in a large pan of boiling water according to the packet instructions. They are done when the gnocchi float to the top. Drain and return to the pan.
4. Stir in the pesto and bacon and serve.
