If you love penne a la vodka, you'll love this version with smoked salmon, cherry tomatoes and chives.

Penne a la vodka is one of our favourite simple pasta dishes so we loved adding a twist and coming up with this smoked salmon vodka gnocchi instead.
It's rich, creamy and warms you up on a cold winter's day. What more could you want?
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and gently fry onion until softened, about 10min. Add the tomatoes to the pan for 10min, until they have broken down. Turn up the heat and add the vodka, allow to evaporate.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the gnocchi until floating, about 5min. Drain and transfer to the frying pan. Stir in the cream, smoked salmon, chives and plenty of seasoning.
GH TIP:
If you don't have any vodka to hand, then you can use gin instead. Or, if you want it to be booze-free altogether then swap the vodka out for chicken stock or lemon juice mixed with water.
