Bored of regular pasta? Try this one pot Pesto Gnocchi with Vegetables. Guaranteed to bring anyone over to the green side, this healthy and tasty midweek family dinner comes together in minutes. It's also a great way to use up leftover pesto!
½cupGrated Parmesan or Vegetarian Alternative - optional
Black Pepper
Instructions
Put a large pot of water on to boil. Add sea salt.
Cook the gnocchi and broccoli together in the boiling salted water on a medium heat for around 3 minutes (or as per packet directions).
Add the peas to the same pan and continue boiling for a further minute while the gnocchi cooks. The gnocchi will float to the top and look a little fluffy when it is ready.
Drain all the contents of the pan in a colander and return the cooked gnocchi and vegetables to the pan. The pan does not need to go back on the heat.
Carefully stir through the pesto and the cheese if using.
Add black pepper, if desired.
And serve!
