Potato Gnocchi with Pesto Recipe

So much to do, with so little time. I needed to make dinner for me and my fiancee. I needed something really quick. I remembered I had gnocchi in the pantry and decided to make my potato gnocchi with pesto recipe. It literally took 15 minutes to make!

I started to boil the water for the gnocchi to cook. I put a teaspoon of salt into the water as it began to boil. Once boiling, I dumped my Gnocchi into the water and added a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. I let the gnocchi boil for about 8 minutes.

The pesto I used in this quick and easy Italian recipe was made by my dad who has his own YouTube cooking channel. He is pretty awesome at cooking and you should visit his site if you have a chance. Anyway, so once the gnocchi were cooked I put them in a strainer. I then put the cooked gnocchi in a dish and poured my dads pesto sauce over the gnocchi. I took the pesto directly from the fridge. Once poured over the gnocchi, the pesto will start to warm up. I then sprinkled some pecorino romano cheese over the pesto gnocchi. You can also drizzle some extra extra virgin olive oil over the gnocchi, gives it a richer taste.
