Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 16- ounce package (450g) gnocchi
½ cup sundried tomatoes in oil (chopped)
¾ cup (180ml) heavy cream ((double cream in the UK))
4 tablespoons pesto
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

In a pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions.
In a pan over medium heat, heat sundried tomato oil and sear the sundried tomatoes for a minute just to release the flavor. Add the cream, simmer for a minute (don't boil), remove from heat and mix in the pesto. Season with salt.
Add the cooked and drained gnocchi to the sauce, and toss until the gnocchi is covered in sauce.
Serve warm. If desired, top with grated parmesan or vegetarian hard cheese.

GNOCCHI WITH CHICKEN, PESTO AND FRESH MOZZARELLA

Gnocchi with Chicken, Pesto and Fresh Mozzarella image

Quick recipe that can be made with prepared gnocchi and pesto, plus chicken breast and fresh mozzarella. Very easy; so easy, I'm sure it borders on a non-recipe. You're really just combining ingredients. You can also experiment with adding other ingredients, like mushrooms or veggies. Anything that needs to be cooked can probably be added at the chicken stage. I did not add any onions or garlic, because the pesto I used already had both, but if your pesto does not, you can add those with the oil as well.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) jar prepared pesto
1 (12 ounce) package potato gnocchi
4 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper; cook and stir in the hot oil until no longer pink in the middle, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining drippings in the pan.
Pour chicken broth into the saucepan. Bring broth to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; continue cooking until the broth reduces in volume by about half, 7 to 10 minutes. Return cooked chicken to the saucepan. Stir pesto through the chicken mixture; remove from heat.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook gnocchi at a boil until they float to the top, about 3 minutes. Remove gnocchi from the water to a large bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining water in the pot.
Place the saucepan with the chicken and pesto over the boiling water; cook and stir over the boiling water until warmed completely, about 5 minutes. Pour chicken and pesto mixture over the gnocchi; add mozzarella and stir until evenly mixed.
