Ingredients

• 500 grams Potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
• 120 grams Basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and stir in the basil pesto until the gnocchi are evenly coated.

Step 6

Divide the gnocchi among serving plates and garnish each portion with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this quick, five-ingredient dish!
