In case you missed it, Disney and Pixar’s latest original feature film, LUCA, has finally dropped, exclusively on Disney+! The film is fun and, because it’s set in Italy (Liguria), it also features a lot of italian food, in particular, a very beautiful “pasta al PESTO”.
So we decided to make for you these ricotta-gnocchi with pesto! If you have been a big fan of the classic potato gnocchi, you should give ricotta-gnocchi a try! It’s an easier-to-make, lighter and even more-delicious version.
You literally just stir 5 simple ingredients together, roll out and cut the dough into bite-sized pieces, boil for a few minutes and the most delicious gnocchi can be ready to go
We served gnocchi with home made pesto (posted the recipe yesterday) but there are a million other delicious ways that you can prepare them, so get creative!
