- Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 40 minutes until tender.
- Separately, blanch the broccoli florets in boiling salted water for a few minutes until bright green, then drain.
- Blend the blanched broccoli with a splash of water to obtain a smooth puree.
- Mash the hot boiled potatoes and mix with the broccoli puree, a pinch of salt, a drizzle of oil, and gradually add flour (40% of the total weight of broccoli and potatoes). Knead quickly into a soft dough.
- Roll the dough into a log and cut into gnocchi pieces.
- For the tomato cream: halve cherry tomatoes, season with salt and rosemary, and roast at 150°C (300°F) until soft. Blend into a smooth cream.
- For the bread crumble: tear bread into small pieces and toast in a pan with a drizzle of oil until crispy.
- In a pan, melt butter with anchovies and a strip of lemon zest to create the sauce.
- Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float, then drain and transfer to the butter-anchovy sauce. Toss gently.
- Slice the raw broccoli stem very thinly.
- Plate: spread the tomato cream on the base, arrange the gnocchi on top, garnish with bread crumble and raw broccoli stem slices.
