Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface.
While the gnocchi cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and become slightly golden for a nutty flavor, about 2 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly from the boiling water to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi in the butter.
Turn off the heat and stir in the basil pesto until the gnocchi are evenly coated.
Divide the gnocchi among serving plates and garnish each portion with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy this quick, five-ingredient dish!
