This was on back of a box of gnocchi that I bought. I tried making my own gnocchi one day and failed terribly. So now I'm trying the box stuff.
Ingredients:
1 pinch coarse sea salt
60 small fresh basil leaves or 30 large fresh basil leaves, rinsed and dried
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons pecorino romano cheese, fresh, finely grated
2 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese, fresh, finely grated
3 -4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 lb gnocchi
Directions:
1. Cook gnocchi as directed on package.
2. In a blender add basil, salt and garlic.
3. Blend into a paste, add pine nuts and slowly pour half of the olive oil.
4. Add cheese and the remaining olive oil.
5. Blend until it becomes a creamy paste.
6. Pour over gnocchi and serve.
