1 Pack Fresh Gnocchi
1 small Garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup toasted Walnuts
1/4 tsp crushed Red Pepper
2 Tbsp Warm Water
2 tsp Lemon Juice
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
4 cups roughly chopped Spinach
Black Pepper
Sea Salt and Black Pepper
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
Place spinach, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper in a food processor; process until finely chopped. With the processor on, slowly add olive oil. Add warm water; process until blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add gnocchi to boiling water and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain completely. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the gnocchi and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the pesto. You might have leftover pesto. Serve warm and garnish with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
