Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring regularly, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, cook the broccoli and cabbage for 5 mins in a pan of simmering water, then add the peas and cook for another 2 mins. Drain well.
Heat the grill to high. Whisk the flour with a splash of the milk in a jug until smooth, add the remaining milk, then pour into a flameproof, shallow casserole dish or ovenproof, deep frying pan. Cook over a medium heat for 5-6 mins, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (it will thicken more as the cheese is added). Stir in the lemon zest, pesto and 75g cheese. Mix for 1 min to melt the cheese, then stir in the blanched veg and gnocchi to coat; season. Scatter over the remaining cheese and grill for 5 mins until golden and bubbling.
