Directions

40 min.
1. Step

Start by making the pesto. Combine basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until finely chopped.

2. Step

With the processor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. Step

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions until they float to the top of the water, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the cooked gnocchi.

4. Step

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the drained gnocchi and cook until it's lightly golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Step

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the freshly made pesto. Toss until the gnocchi is fully coated. Serve warm and enjoy.
