Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190ºC fan/Gas 6-7.

Step 2

Trim the leeks, slice in half lengthways. Finely slice. Make sure they’re washed well to remove any grit.

Step 3

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan. Add the leeks and gently fry, stirring from time to time, while you continue.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop or grate the garlic. Strip the leaves from the thyme. Finely grate the zest from half the lemon.

Step 5

Once the leeks have softened (about 8 minutes), add the garlic and half the thyme and fry for 1 minute.

Step 6

Stir in the bouillon, 200ml boiling water, half the soy cream and the nutritional yeast.

Step 7

Bring up to a simmer and stir through the gnocchi, then top with a few good handfuls of the spinach. Cover with a lid to allow the spinach to wilt.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the wilted spinach and season the mixture, to taste. Transfer to a baking dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle over the lemon zest, remaining thyme and the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp and golden.

Step 10

Serve with a little more of the unused raw spinach, with a lemon wedge for squeezing.
