One Pot Creamy Pesto Gnocchi

★★★★★

5 from 2 reviews

Perfectly cooked potato gnocchi in a creamy pesto sauce with bacon, spinach leaves, parmesan and garlic. This recipe transforms simple freezer vegetables into something extraordinary. My creamy pesto gnocchi requires minimal preparation and will be on your dinner table in less than 10 minutes. And the best part? You only need one pot, which means less clean-up time and more time to enjoy every bite!
