POTATO GNOCCHI IN PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Potato Gnocchi in Pesto Cream Sauce image

This is a delicious, warm and comforting food! Very filling...quick and easy. If you are wanting to try something new, please give this a try! Of course you can make your own gnocchi and pesto, but in a time pinch... the pre-made stuff works just fine. Pesto from the refridgerated section of the market works much better than a jarred pesto sauce. Fresher is also better. I like to serve this with baked acorn squash. This dish actually reheats pretty well the next day, too!

Time 11m

Yield 3 , 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi
1 (8 ounce) package fresh basil pesto (in the refridgerated section of the grocery)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • 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!

Time 1h50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs home-made or bought gnocchi
1 small onion
1 carrot
1 celery rib
2 3/4 lbs canned, peeled tomatoes
1 1/2 ounces butter
salt and pepper
8 ounces cream
1 pinch ground nutmeg
parsley (for sprinkling)

Steps:

  • Chop the onion, carrot and celery.
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan or pot and add the onion, carrot and celery.
  • Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 fahrenheit (210 celsius).
  • Add the tomatoes,including the juice,to the pan along with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer for about 30 minutes until thickened.
  • Don't forget to stir occasionally.
  • Put in the blender and puree.
  • Pour it back into the pan, remove from the heat and stir in cream and nutmeg.
  • Season to taste.
  • Place the gnocchi in a large baking dish and cover with the sauce. (Precook the gnocchi to package directions if you are using storebought gnocchi.)
  • Bake in preheated oven until very hot and starting to brown on top.
  • About 7-10 minutes.
  • Serve immediatly, sprinkled with parsley.
  • The sauce can be made a day ahead up until adding the cream.
  • Only add the cream and bake just before serving.
  • This makes a great and very tasty vegetarian dish or side dish.
  • I like to make it with spinach gnocchi.
  • Serve with bread to mop up the delicious sauce.

Tips:

  • Use the best quality ingredients you can find. Fresh, ripe tomatoes and fragrant basil will make all the difference in the flavor of your sauce.
  • Don't overcook the gnocchi. They should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork or a grater to mash the potatoes.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough when making the gnocchi. Overworking will make them tough.
  • When cooking the gnocchi, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite sauce. They are best when they are freshly made.

Conclusion:

This homemade gnocchi with tomato pesto cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
