Ingredients
  

  • 1 small bunch of Chives
  • 1 small bunch of Italian Parsley
  • 1/4 cup Cashews
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1/2 Lemon juiced
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 12 oz Mini Gnocchi I used Delallo gluten free

Instructions
 

  • Add Chives, Parsley, Cashews, Garlic, Lemon juice, Salt, Pepper and Olive Oil to a food processor
  • Blend and add more oil if it's too thick
  • Taste and add more Salt and Pepper to your liking
  • Prepare Gnocchi as directed on package
  • When Gnocchi starts floating to the top, scoop out 1/2 cup of the water
  • Drain Gnocchi and add to a preheated skillet on med/high heat
  • Add 2 heaping tablespoons to the Gnocchi
  • Pour in a little bit of the pasta water to create a sauce
  • Toss until the Gnocchi is coated with the pesto
  • Serve immediately
  • Enjoy!

Notes

There's really no measuring on how much water and pesto to add to the Gnocchi. Start with a little and add more until the sauce is to your desired texture.
Store the remaining Pesto in the fridge for up to a week in an air tight container or freeze up to 6 months.
