Gnocchi with Pesto and Veggies

Gnocchi are a type of Italian pasta with a soft texture. They’re usually made with potato - or semolina - as a main ingredient, and sometimes have egg and cheese in the mix. In Italy they’re usually served as an entree, but you can also enjoy them as a main course. We’ve tried them in this simple dish, with pesto sauce, and a few veggies, and we’re already big fans of them.

I guess I’ve always had a passion for cooking ever since I was a kid when I was mom’s little helper in the kitchen. Even though I wasn’t actually cooking, I was a picky eater, and I focused on bringing more flavor to her dishes, by adding extra herbs and spices I felt might enrich it. Time has passed, and I haven’t changed that much: I am now my girlfriend’s helper.
