Ingredients
Gnocchi:
- 2 cups Frigo® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
- 1¼ cups Frigo® Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups flour, plus more for work surface
Pesto:
- 2 cups packed basil
- 1 cup green peas (if using frozen, thaw)
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ cup pine nuts (can substitute macadamia nuts)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts, plus more for serving
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 cup Frigo® Shredded Parmesan Cheese, plus more for serving
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup of parsley
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red onion, diced small
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- Pea shoots (optional)
Directions
- Combine the gnocchi ingredients except for flour. Fork in 1 cup of flour until doughy, adding more until sticky. Test a ball in boiling salted water to make sure it holds shape. If not, add ¼ cup of flour and re-test.
- Divide the dough into 4 floured pieces. Roll into ½-inch ropes. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece down floured fork tines to create ridges.
- In a processor, mix the pesto ingredients except for oil. While on, add the oil through the spout. Blend, scraping as needed, until creamy. If necessary, add more oil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Sauté the oil, onion and tomatoes on medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Add the pesto mixture and reduce heat to low.
- Boil 30 gnocchi at once. When they float, boil one additional minute. Toss them in the pesto and serve with additional Frigo® Shredded Parmesan Cheese, walnuts and shoots.
