Mediterranean Gnocchi

A couple of my kids used HelloFresh and collected some amazing recipes.
We have the grandsons on school hols and always welcome recipes from their homes that will keep them fed and happy while they are with us. This gnocchi recipe was met with approval though the younger grandson is currently off Feta Cheese!
