Preparation
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan. Add frozen peas and cook at 6 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. Once cooked, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Blend the cooked peas, then pour the puree into a bowl and let it cool.
When the pea puree is cold, incorporate the flour a little at a time, starting to mix with a fork.
When the dough begins to have a good consistency, transfer it to the floured work surface and continue to incorporate the leftover flour, kneading well.
Form into a ball.
Cut the ball into 5 parts.
Form "sausages" by stretching each cut piece of dough (choose the thickness you like best).
Cut into pieces to form pea gnocchi.
As the pea gnocchi are ready arrange them in a floured tray. You can cook them right away and season them with different toppings.
