Crispy pesto gnocchi

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
5 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 400 g Woolworths gnocchi Italian potato dumplings
  • 3 T Belazu Traditional Genovese pesto
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 50 g parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra to serve
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Heat 1 T oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add gnocchi and fry, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp (8–10 minutes).

2. Meanwhile, toss cherry tomatoes with 1 T oil, salt, and pepper. Air-fry at 200°C for 8 minutes, or until blistered and juicy.

3. Once the gnocchi is golden, remove from heat and stir through Belazu Genovese Pesto and parmesan.

4. Plate up with blistered tomatoes and extra parmesan. Serve warm.

Cook’s note: For even more indulgence, top with a soft poached egg or fresh torn mozzarella.
