The participants in my Gnocchi Cooking Class requested Pesto as the sauce for their Gnocchi. It’s a perfect fit this time of year when we all have Basil busting loose in our quarantine gardens! This is a great recipe if you are new at making pasta because it does not require any special ingredients and it’s fun for the kids to help. Basically it’s like playing with play dough as you roll out the “snake” that will become your Gnocchi.
Summer Guests
So far our summer has been a worldwind of activity, every week we have had new guests arriving even as we say good-bye to others that now depart as lifelong friends.
Portabella Mushroom Pizza’s (Keto Approved)
This is a great quick and easy recipe for a Keto lunch or light dinner. High in fiber and flavorful with tasty pesto, it will cure your pizza cravings! You can also change it up with a red tomato sauce and typical pizza toppings like pepperoni, black olives, bell peppers or sun dried tomatoes!
Genovese Pesto
Its the end of summer and those of us who planted those adorable little basil plants in early summer with dreams of fresh pesto and bruschetta now have basil plants the size of trees spilling out of our Italian balconies. But have no fear, a sizable batch of pesto will soon cut those basil trees back down to size.
