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
Recipe Serves 2-3
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.

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?

Really yummy! I didn’t have a small pot so mixed the pesto and milk in a small bowl and heated it up in the microwave for 20 second increments until heated. It worked very well. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. :)
