Enjoy a comforting dish that's both flavorful and simple to prepare in under an hour!

1

Start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 20 minutes until soft.

2

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before mashing them until smooth.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.

4

Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into long ropes. Cut into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi.

5

In the meantime, prepare the spinach pesto. In a blender, combine spinach, garlic, olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

6

Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the gnocchi in batches, and they will float to the top when done, usually after about 2-3 minutes.

7

Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving bowl.

8

Pour the spinach pesto over the gnocchi and toss gently until evenly coated.

9

Serve immediately with a sprinkle of additional parmesan cheese on top.

2

• Add some toasted pine nuts for crunch.
• Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes into the pesto for an extra burst of flavor.
• Top the dish with crispy fried sage leaves for an aromatic touch.

• Make sure the potatoes are completely drained to avoid a watery dough.
• Use a light hand when mixing the dough to keep the gnocchi tender.
• Experiment with different greens like basil or arugula in the pesto.
