Ingredients

  • 1 package store-bought gnocchi (16 oz)
  • 1 Challenge Unsalted Butter Cube (4 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup good-quality pesto (start here, add more if you’d like)
  • freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
  • fresh basil, for garnish

Directions

  • 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package — they’re done once they float, usually in about 2–3 minutes. Drain well.

  • 2

    Melt the Challenge Unsalted Butter Cube in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • 3

    Add the gnocchi and sauté undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to get them crispy on one side. Stir and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden and lightly crisp all over.

  • 4

    Turn off the heat and stir in the pesto. Start with ½ cup and add more to taste.

  • 5

    Serve with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh basil.
