Bring springtime to your dinner table with this vibrant gnocchi dish loaded with spring peas, tangy lemon & fresh herbs. Be sure to use only half of the olive oil to sauté the garlic. For best results, work two burners at the same time during preparation as this dish comes together very quickly once the water is boiling. Just before serving, coat the gnocchi with the remaining olive oil, lemon, scallions, tarragon & mint.
