Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 16 ounces of gnocchi
- 1/2 cup of pesto sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pinches of salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- In a large bowl, mix the gnocchi, salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray or coat with extra olive oil. Lay the gnocchi out in single layer, leaving a bit of room between each piece.

- Remove from oven and carefully scoop the gnocchi into a large bowl.
- Toss the pesto, gnocchi, and shredded parmesan cheese until well coated. Serve warm from the oven.
Notes
If you would rather boil your gnocchi, you can. Follow the package instructions and then toss the gnocchi with pesto and shredded parmesan cheese.
You can sub in different cheeses or add additional cheeses if you like. Mozzarella, provolone, and Romano all work really good in pesto gnocchi.
