Toothsome gnocchi is the perfect bed for this creamy pesto. I like to serve it with a big green salad and hot, crusty bread for soaking up the remaining sauce.

  • Ingredients
  • 1 12-oz package gnocchi $3
  • 1/2 cup fresh pesto $8.50 for entire recipe
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved $2
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half $1.50 for 1/2 pint
Total Cost of Ingredients $15

Directions

Cook gnocchi according to directions in salted water. In a small pot, whisk together pesto and half-and-half over medium heat until well incorporated and hot.

Once gnocchi is cooked, toss gently with the creamy pesto and cherry tomatoes. Garnish with leftover pine nuts and Parmesan if desired.

Serves 2-3.

very good and simple-used tortellini instead of gnocchi and grape tomatoes instead of cherry.

…where in the world do you find gnocchi for $3? In 12-oz packages especially?
