How to Make Gnocchi with Arugula & Walnut Pesto

Step-by-Step

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the arugula, garlic, walnuts and cheese. Process until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and continue processing until you have a smooth, bright green pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float. Drain and then place back into the pot. Add ½ cup of the pesto and toss to coat.
Serve bowls of gnocchi with additional parmesan cheese on top.
Great with a side salad & garlic bread!
