When I don't have a lot of time, I make this simple version of gnocchi with italian pesto. You could add nuts to your pesto for an extra crunch or some dried pepperoncini

Steps

10 mins

1

Fry gnocchi in butter on medium high heat for about 8 minutes or until they are a little browned. I usually add some water to the frying pan to be sure they're cooked through
2

In a blender or food processor, put basil leaves and the desired amount of olive oil (I put about one tablespoon). Pulse
3

When gnocchis are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl and add the pulsed basil with olive oil. Mix well
4

Serve with parmesan cheese and top with fresh basil leaves
