Instructions

Cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Once done, drain the water and add the gnocchi back into the pot.

While the gnocchi is cooking, open the package of sprouts and add in the olive oil, salt and pepper. Give it a shake to lightly combine and then re-seal the package. The directions call for you to cook it for 5 minutes but I like a little bite left in my sprouts so I cook them for just 4 minutes.

Into the pot with the gnocchi, mix in the pesto and sprouts until everything is covered in the pesto. Sprinkle with optional cheese and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Sprouts First 🔥
Sear the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust and caramelized flavor before adding gnocchi.
Reserve Pasta Water for Pesto 💧
Save 1/2 cup of gnocchi cooking water to thin your pesto and create a silky sauce that clings perfectly to each piece without needing extra oil.
Pesto Goes in Last ⏱️
Stir pesto into the skillet in the final 30 seconds of cooking to preserve its vibrant color, fresh basil aroma, and delicate flavor from heat damage.
Don't Overcrowd the Skillet 🍳
Arrange sprouts and gnocchi in a single layer to ensure proper contact with the hot skillet surface for even browning and texture development.
Finish with Fresh Parmesan 🧀
Grate room-temperature Parmesan cheese over the finished dish just before serving to achieve optimal melting and allow its nutty, complex flavors to shine.
