Gnocchi with hazelnut cream

Gnocchi with hazelnut cream

@mescolabene

...semi-empty fridge and the impossibility of shopping before lunch. So I considered what I had and thought: I have some potato gnocchi to use (those vacuum-packed ready ones), I still have some hazelnuts, I have spinach in the freezer for ages.. I followed a bit of instinct and a bit of ideas taken here and there and look at what a nice creamy dish. Let's see together the ingredients I used! ?

  1. STEP 1 OF 6

    In a pan, pour a drizzle of oil and let half a garlic clove brown. Add the spinach and a bit of hot water. Salt and cover, letting it cook.

  2. STEP 2 OF 6

    Separately, in the blender cup, combine hazelnuts, anchovy fillets, the other half of the garlic, oil, grated Parmesan, and blend with a bit of water until you get a cream.

  3. STEP 3 OF 6

    Boil the gnocchi in plenty of salted water and as soon as they float, drain them into a bowl.

  4. STEP 4 OF 6

    Pour the hazelnut pesto and mix, adding cooking water to make them enveloping and not pasty.

  5. STEP 5 OF 6

    Plate our nice creamy gnocchi and place the spinach, which will now be ready, here and there. 😄

  6. STEP 6 OF 6

    A grind of pepper and some coarsely chopped hazelnuts.. a drizzle of oil and we are ready to enjoy this wonder.
