The light and airy gnocchi practically melt in your mouth and pair perfectly with the rich and nutty pesto sauce. Gnocchi (NYOK-kee) are bite-size pasta dumplings, made primarily from flour and potatoes. When gnocchis are fresh, they cook in mere seconds; find them in the fresh pasta section of your supermarket. If unavailable, you can substitute 3 cups of frozen gnocchi, prepared according to package directions. This dish is hearty enough to serve as a main dish. If you prefer to serve it with a meat, pair it with chicken or fish.
