Gnocchi

1. Season the lobster tails with salt, pepper and olive oil. Gently fry on a low-medium heat in a small pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes or until the centre of the lobster is just barely turning opaque. Remove from the heat and after a few minutes of resting, chop into large pieces.
2. Bring a large pot of seasoned water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi until it starts floating. Scoop out the gnocchi as they rise to the surface and float. Reserve in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
3. In a large pan or pot, on a low heat, combine the lobster, gnocchi and sauce. Stir to coat the gnocchi evenly and turn the heat off.
4. Serve and garnish with parmigiano reggiano and finely cut chives (additional roasted cherry tomatoes optional)
