So. . . I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t know this trick before, as a chef. If you bake gnocchi they are incredible! I always thought you had to boil them. But, turns out they bake up perfectly. And they are so addicting!
I tried it for the first time for a client and have made it 3 times since.
I also took it to a football party and the kids there absolutely loved it. So, it’s kid-approved, too.
If you buy already-made gnocchi and pesto this is an extremely short recipe. But if you are extra ambitious and want to make them from scratch, you can try my recipe here: Homemade Gnocchi
I’d recommend with pesto, so you can make that recipe here: Pesto recipe
