For the homemade ricotta gnocchi, follow the instructions in THIS post.
Sweet Pea Butter Sauce
Heat a large sauté pan over medium/high heat. Then, melt the butter and add the broth and frozen peas.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 4- 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender, but still a bright green color.
Transfer 2/3 of the sweet pea mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Bring to a gentle simmer and add the freshly cooked, drained gnocchi to the pan, tossing gently until the sauce has slightly thickened, and the gnocchi are evenly coated.
Season the sauce again if necessary, making sure it has enough salt and lemon juice to add a tangy brightness to the flavor.
Serve immediately, and top with thin shavings of the truffle Pecorino cheese.
