Ingredients

  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½-3/4 cup pesto- depending on how much you want.
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan optional for topping
  • 2 tablespoon toasted pine nuts optional for topping

Instructions

  • Start by boiling the gnocchi in salted water. You DO NOT want to overcook the gnocchi. I boiled my fresh gnocchi for 2 minutes.
  • When it is done, drain really well. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook the gnocchi on both sides until it is crispy. Add in the pesto and gently stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the gnocchi are covered.
  • Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
