Why this recipe is gentle

The zucchini is softened over low heat with a little water, which keeps it light and low in fat. It is seasoned only with basil and a pinch of salt, without onion, garlic, tomato or spice.

Tips

  • How much fat, how large a portion and which ingredients suit you is individual - work up to it slowly.
  • Only steam the zucchini soft rather than searing it, so it stays gentle.
  • Cook the gnocchi just before serving, as they turn soft quickly.
