Ingredients

  • 1 lb potato gnocchi uncooked
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1 small garlic cloves pressed
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start off by placing 1 pound of uncooked potato gnocchi into a pot of boiling water for 2-4 minutes or until they float to the top.
  • Once the gnocchi is done, drain the water out well.
  • Heat a medium-sized skillet to medium-high heat. Then add 2 tablespoon olive oil. Let the oil warm up for about 1 minute, then add the cooked gnocchi.
  • Pan-fry the gnocchi for about 2 minutes or until they become crispy on the outside. Then drop the heat to low.
  • Then add 1/4 cup basil pesto, 1 small pressed or grated garlic clove, 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix everything together and serve warm.

Notes

How to reheat
To store Pesto Gnocchi, place any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 4-5 days. When you are ready to reheat them, place the pasta in an oven-safe dish and add some extra pesto. Cook them for about 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, until warmed through.
