Prep Time: 5 Minutes | Cook Time: 15 Minutes | Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

• 1 container Steph's Fresh Basil Pesto

• 1 package gnocchi

• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup pine nuts

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. Toast the pine nuts: Add pine nuts to a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast, shaking the pan and stirring often, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove immediately to a plate and set aside.

2. Cook the gnocchi: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and gnocchi. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the cream: Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer 2–3 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly (don't boil).

4. Stir in the pesto: Reduce heat to low. Add Steph’s Fresh Basil Pesto and stir until fully combined and warmed through.

5. Finish: Sprinkle in the Parmesan and stir until melted and creamy. Remove from heat.

6. Serve: Top with toasted pine nuts and extra Parmesan.
