POTATO GNOCCHI IN PESTO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add lots of salt to the boiling water to help flavor the gnocchi. While the water is heating, get a sauce pan and whisk together the pesto, cream, salt and pepper over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a low boil and be sure to stir frequently. Turn down the heat to a low simmer. Once your water pot is at a full boil, gently add in the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes. The gnocchi will float to the top when they are done. Drain. Add the gnocchi to the pesto cream sauce. Stir to combine. Top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

INSTANT POTATO GNOCCHI

Steps:

• PUT the potato flakes or buds in a medium-size bowl and add the boiling water; stir until blended then let cool.
• FOLD in the egg and salt with a wooden or plastic spoon or spatula.
• ADD flour slowly, folding with the spatula, until you have a fairly firm dough that doesn't stick to the bowl.
• TURN dough out onto a well floured surface and knead lightly into a ball.

• Repeat until all are cooked.
