Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 oz) package gnocchi
  • 1 (8 oz) package fresh basil pesto (in the refridgerated section of the grocery)
  • 1 cup cream (you can also use half and half or milk)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

  1. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add lots of salt to the boiling water to help flavor the gnocchi. While the water is heating, get a sauce pan and whisk together the pesto, cream, salt and pepper over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a low boil and be sure to stir frequently. Turn down the heat to a low simmer. Once your water pot is at a full boil, gently add in the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes. The gnocchi will float to the top when they are done. Drain. Add the gnocchi to the pesto cream sauce. Stir to combine. Top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
