Rukmini Iyer's quick and easy recipe for harissa and gnocchi-topped fish pie
I love fish pie, and gnocchi, and harissa, so what could be better than a combination of all three? Particularly if it saves you 15 minutes' boiling and then mashing some potatoes. Bookmark this for chillier summer evenings – I'm determined to eat as many meals as possible outside right now, and this will keep you warm when the temperature dips to an unseasonal sub-15C. Use your favourite type of fish, or add some prawns, if you like. Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Serves 4 250ml milk 50g rose harissa – I like Belazu 100g cream cheese 1 tsp sea salt flakes 260g sustainably-sourced cod, or other white fish, cut into roughly 3½cm chunks260g trout, cut into roughly 3½cm chunks150g frozen peas, defrosted500g gnocchi (fresh or vac-packed)20g salted butter 100g cheddar, grated Put the milk, harissa, cream cheese and salt in a large saucepan, turn on the heat and whisk until the cheese melts and is thoroughly incorporated. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a bare simmer – just the tiniest bubbles should break the surface, otherwise you'll boil the fish. Add all the fish and leave to poach for 10 minutes. Add the peas for the last two minutes. Once cooked, the fish should very gently flake apart when cut with a fork, but still neatly hold its shape. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fish to a pie dish or small roasting tin, then scoop out the peas and scatter over the top. Bring the harissa milk mix back to a boil, drop in the gnocchi and cook for two minutes. Then – and stay with me here – you're going to hold a colander over the fish dish and pour the harissa milk through it on to the fish, leaving the gnocchi in the colander. Stir the butter through the gnocchi in the colander, then tip the gnocchi evenly over the contents of the pie dish. Turn on the grill to medium-high, scatter the cheese over the gnocchi, then grill the fish pie for three to five minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling – this may take slightly more or less time, depending on how fierce your grill is, so keep an eye on it. Serve hot with a glass of something cold alongside.

Six simple gnocchi recipes — using shop-bought or homemade
Shop-bought fresh gnocchi are one of the best lazy dinner solutions I know: fast, filling, endlessly adaptable. Air frying or roasting them on low is a revelation — it gives them a lovely crisp outside and soft middle. Although ask a purist such as the Italian maestro Giorgio Locatelli or the chef Jacob Kenedy, who owns Bocca di Lupo restaurant in London, and they'll say don't deviate from the classic method. 'Boil — always! Pan-fried gnocchi are a chefism: nice, but I like food cooked at its simplest,' Kenedy explains. 'I prefer to boil shop-bought gnocchi,' Locatelli agrees. 'If you pan-fry them, the outside gets crispy but the inside can be underdone.' I find not frying them too hot can avoid this. If you're boiling

Our best tray bakes for busy nights
There are so many things to love about dinners that bake on a tray or two. There's hardly any prep, very little washing up, and best of all: time to do anything else while dinner's in the oven. Here are some of our most popular tray bakes, including vegetarian options. This hearty dinner can be assembled in 10 minutes. It's a complete meal with tinned chickpeas and cherry tomatoes baking beneath the chicken Marylands, with chorizo adding a hint of smokiness. Pork sausages bake on top of thinly sliced potato and tinned tomatoes in this tray bake that's finished with fresh herbs. The potatoes are parboiled for 15 minutes before everything's combined on a tray and baked. Chicken thighs, tinned lentils and spices combine in this recipe that requites only 10 minutes of prep time. The lentils bake in cream, adding some decadence to this weeknight meal that's served with lemon wedges, herbs and bread. A few packets of gnocchi go straight onto a baking tray with broccoli, fennel seeds and lemon slices in this easy weeknight dinner. Add a generous amount of cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice and dinner is ready. This tray bake takes inspiration from a stir-fry, but everything is baked, except for the rice. You'll need two trays for the recipe, one to bake the tofu and eggplant and a second to gently steam some veggies before everything's combined in a hot honey sauce with soy. Turn potatoes into a meal in this one-tray recipe, in which thick slices of haloumi are added part-way through the bake. Stir through some leafy greens and chopped mint and enjoy this warm, cheesy salad.
