Gnocchi with Black Olives 

This is such a simple and quick recipe, throw all the ingredients into a baking dish, do some jobs while you wait for it to bake. Perfect for a week night staple recipe. 

We have used our Moroccan Black olives which are pitted and bring a rich, briny depth to this dish that pairs beautifully with soft, delicate gnocchi.

Moroccan Black olives are salty and perfect for cooking and adding a depth of flavour to dishes.

With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, this gnocchi with black olives recipe is on the table in under 20 minutes — ideal for those evenings when you want something satisfying without the fuss.
