EASY

Gnocchi with Pesto is ridiculously easy and crazy flavorful! All you need is a package of potato gnocchi, fresh basil pesto, olive oil, salt, and pepper. I love gnocchi! Dressed with garlic butter, marinara, or now with fresh basil pesto. These little Italian dumplings may be cloud-like but they're also rich and hearty.
