Recipe: Gnocchi with pesto and roasted peppers
Pasta with aromatic herbs
May 27, 2009
I will harvest basil soon, and then I will enjoy the first pesto of the season. Pesto can be freezed easily: it will loose some flavour, but you can eat it in the winter too!
With the last pesto of the last summer, I cooked some gnocchi with an interesting variation.
Gnocchi with pesto and roasted peppers
Ingredients
Serves two:
2 red bell peppers
500g gnocchi
150g pesto sauce
Directions
Bake the peppers in preheated 200° C (392 F) oven 25 minutes, until the skin is brown.
Peel them and discard seeds and stems. Cut into pieces.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water, then drain them well.
Season with the pesto sauce and serve with the baked peppers
