Ingredients

Pesto

To finish

Steps

  1. Blend the basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, oil, and salt into a loose pesto.

  2. Boil the green beans 4 minutes, then add the gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2 minutes.

  3. Drain, keeping a few spoonfuls of water, and toss everything with the pesto off the heat.

Heat dulls basil — never cook the pesto.

Swaps

  • Walnuts stand in for pine nuts.
