- 1 8-ounce container store-bought pesto (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup ricotta
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions. Drain and return them to the pot. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the green beans and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Add the pesto and cream to the gnocchi and cook over medium heat, stirring, just until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide among bowls and top with the green beans, ricotta, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Substitution: If you can't find gnocchi, try this quick and easy pesto and cream sauce on pasta. Frozen peas are a fine stand-in for green beans.
