Don’t be deterred by the apparently long cooking time, here. It’s actually 20 minutes preparation and 4 hours refrigeration. So, it’s easy but be patient. This is Italian, but still, it is low-carb stuff. Make your gnocchi from organic mozzarella and eggs. Also, make your own pesto sauce. It’s easy as pie and you even add your own touch to it.
