While the water heats, prepare the pesto by combining the basil leaves, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor or blender.

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the pesto is smooth and well combined.

Carefully add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water.
烹饪提示: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.

Cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
约 3分钟
烹饪提示: Once they float, they are usually cooked through.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into a large serving bowl.
约 1分钟
