Gnocchi in a new, exciting way!

Roux Boy has made it on “Food and Drink” last week and made me excited. He made broccoli pesto, which I’ve never tried before. All the same like the traditional one, only basil replaced with cooked, cooled broccoli and a small chili added.  We both agreed with Florek that it tasted very healthy. 😉

I grilled some asparagus, only slightly moistened with olive oil, it was crunchy and  had lovely  charred taste.  The non veggie accent in this dish was some grilled parma ham on top, salty and delicious. But the best thing on the plate were the pan fried gnocchi. Roux Boy said the shop bought gnocchi were firmer than home made ones, I’d never have thought about pan frying them and they were delightful, like little roasties. All finished off with freshly grated parmesan, excellent. Not sure if I’ll be making broccoli pesto again, but gnocchi from the pan will be made again for sure.
