A packet of gnocchi (or homemade if you're feeling brave) and the kitchen staples of mushroom, garlic and spinach are all you need to whip up a delicious dinner recipe from a much-loved local charity café.

Mushroom Gnocchi With Spinach, Garlic, Parmesan and Balsamic

Method: 

1.  Cook the gnocchi as per instructions. 

2.  Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan or wok.
