Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the green beans and cook for 2-3 mins. Add another drizzle of oil then add the gnocchi to the pan and fry for 1-2 mins. Add the red pepper and ricotta pesto and reserved water then cook for 1-2 mins.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the red pepper and ricotta gnocchi into bowls. Top with cherry tomatoes and drizzle over parsley gremolata. Arrange a handful of mesclun on top and sprinkle over the Sicilian sprinkle. Serve remaining mesclun on the side.
