Gnocchi and Peas with Pesto
I opened my freezer this morning and saw peas, some left over uncooked gnocchi and a small container of pesto. Let me show you a little of this and that and take note........ Ingredients
- 1 cup of frozen peas
- 1/2 lb. of gnocchi (that's all I had)
- 3 tbsp. pesto (fresh pesto leftover from a few months ago)
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- pinch of red chili flakes
- reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano cheese
Directions
- Bring a medium pot of cold water to a boil and add 2 tbsp. of salt. Add the gnocchi and cook for three minutes. Add the frozen peas in the same pot and cook together in the same pot.
- The gnocchi will be ready when they begin to float to the surface (approx. 5-7 minutes). Drain the gnocchi and peas and put them back in the pot. Add the pesto, 2 tbsp. of olive oil , red chili flakes, pasta water and toss.
- Add a handful of parmigiano cheese (in this example, I am not measuring but it should yield about 1/2 cup. Toss and serve immediately.
