Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile make the pesto by adding all ingredients to a bowl and blitz with an immersion blender to a smooth saucy consistency.
  • Cook the gnocchi according to packet instructions or until they float to the top of the water (reserve a little cooking water).
