Speckled Green Potatoes!
Sorry I didn't document the making of my pesto! However, you can use any pesto recipe you want for this. I used pistachios, basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Right before you use it, hit it with some lemon juice. Simple, and delicious! Or... you could just buy it :)

Gnocchi are little potato dumplings, in an essence. I love them, and I have not eaten them since i was in Florence, Italy and had the most amazing gnocchi pesto ever. They only take a few minutes to cook in boiling water, they just float to the top.

Once the gnocchi is finished cooking, drain it and cool down your cooking pot.
Put the gnocchi back in, and then mix it with enough pesto to just coat the gnocchi. Add in chopped tomatoes, and you can add some parmesan cheese if you want. :) But, most importantly, ENJOY!
