Potato Gnocchi In Pesto Cream Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi
1 (8 ounce) package fresh basil pesto (in the refridgerated section of the grocery)
1 cup cream (you can also use half and half or milk)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add lots of salt to the boiling water to help flavor the gnocchi. While the water is heating, get a sauce pan and whisk together the pesto, cream, salt and pepper over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a low boil and be sure to stir frequently. Turn down the heat to a low simmer. Once your water pot is at a full boil, gently add in the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes. The gnocchi will float to the top when they are done. Drain. Add the gnocchi to the pesto cream sauce. Stir to combine. Top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
