Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Gnocchi

Also at the glorious World Market, I found this Gnocchi! I found this recipe on Pinterest and added a protein. Turned out yummy!

This is the recipe I used from http://www.krissys-creations.com/2012/03/easy-sun-dried-tomato-gnocci-guest-post.html 

"2 tbsp. sundried tomato pesto

1 package of pre-made gnocchi pasta

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, more for topping.

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a pot of water to boil.

2. While the water is coming to a boil, in a large skillet on medium heat, put 2 tbsp. of the pesto in the skillet and press the pesto against the skillet to release the flavors and oils.

3. Once your water has boiled, add some salt and throw in the gnocchi. Follow instructions on the packaging, mine said 2 minutes.

4. Ladle 2 ladle spoonfuls of starchy gnocchi water into the skillet with the pesto and stir to combine well until it thickens up slightly.

5. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the gnocchi from the pot and gently place it in the skillet. Sprinkle the Parmesan all over and stir to combine all the ingredients, until everything is coated well. Add some salt and pepper if need be.

6. Serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese on top!"

I happened to have turkey kielbasa so I cooked that up and added it to the pasta, it was great!

The "mini" gnocchi's almost look like beans!
