Cavolo nero gnocchi with peppered prawns and pancetta recipe

Crisp, pan-fried cavolo nero and peppered prawn gnocchi are accompanied by salty pancetta in this richly layered dish. The gnocchi are earthy and tender, their soft texture married with cavolo nero for depth, then finished in the pan until golden. A zesty prawn butter sauce — built from caramelised shells, fennel, tomato paste and white wine — adds richness and umami, while a hit of pink peppercorns brings gentle heat and contrast.
