Materials

  • 1 bowl Potato gnocchi
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 tomato cut in cube or 5 to 6 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 2 tbsp pasta sauce basil pesto sauce preferred

For seasoning

  • ½ tsp oregano herb
  • ½ tsp red chilli flakes
  • ½ tsp black pepper powder
  • Salt per taste
  • Mozzarella cheese optional
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

For making Gnocchi pesto:

  • Place a saucepan on the medium flame and heat 2 glass of water along with tsp of salt and a tbsp of oil.
  • When the water comes to boil, add gnocchi to the water and cook till it becomes tender.
  • Till the gnocchi is getting cooked, place a frying pan on the other burner and add a tbsp of olive oil in the pan.
  • Add chopped red bell peppers into the pan and saute for 2 mins.
  • Add chopped zucchini (courgette) into the pan and stir it nicely and let it again cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Then add chopped tomatoes and give it a nice mix. Cherry tomatoes go well with this recipe. Since I was out of stock with cherry tomatoes I am using the normal ones.
  • Now, strain the gnocchi and add it into frying pan along with other veggies and give it a nice mix. You can also add boiled water of gnocchi as it contains starch and gives a nice texture to the dish.
  • Then, add crushed garlic cloves and pasta sauce, stir all the ingredients nicely for a few seconds.
  • Gnocchi is completely cooked, turn off the flame and add the seasonings over it - black pepper powder, red chilli flakes and oregano herb. 
  • Mix all the ingredients nicely and garnish it with chopped green spring onions.
