Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 10
Prepare the artisanal red pesto: Place the sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, grated Parmigiano, basil leaves, and (if desired) garlic in a blender.
- STEP 2 OF 10
Blend in pulses, gradually adding the extra virgin olive oil until you obtain a rustic yet smooth cream.
- STEP 3 OF 10
Adjust with black pepper (and salt only if needed: sun-dried tomatoes are often already salty).
- STEP 4 OF 10
Cook the gnocchetti: Bring plenty of salted water to a boil.
- STEP 5 OF 10
Add the gnocchetti and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain quickly, reserving half a glass of cooking water.
- STEP 6 OF 10
Transfer the drained gnocchetti to a large pan.
- STEP 7 OF 10
Add the prepared red pesto, half of the 60-month Parmigiano, and a ladle of hot cooking water.
- STEP 8 OF 10
Toss and mix for a few minutes over low heat, so that a thick and enveloping cream forms.
- STEP 9 OF 10
Arrange the gnocchetti on plates, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, fresh chopped parsley, and generous shavings of 60-month Parmigiano.
- STEP 10 OF 10
Finish with a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil and a grind of black pepper.
