Avocado Pesto Gnocchi
Ingredients
(Serves 3-4)
500 g gnocchi (we use President’s Choice pre-packaged)
1 whole medium-sized avocado
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup cup almond milk
1 cup arugula
3/4 cup fresh basil
1 medium tomato, diced
2 garlic clothes, diced
Salt and ground pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tbsp sriracha salt
Instructions
Start by boiling your water. Once at a simmer, add the entire package of gnocchi and cook according to the instructions. Once done, drain, set aside and drizzle with ~tbsp. olive oil to keep from sticking together.
Important: keep 1/2 cup of pasta water
Next, put your avocado, 1 tbsp olive oil, almond milk, arugula and basil into a blender or food processor, and blend until everything is smooth.
On the side, dice up your medium tomato
In a large saucepan on medium-low heat, add your pasta sauce and tomatoes to the pan to warm it.
Once the sauce is warm (about 3 minutes), add in your gnocchi. Slowly add in some pasta water while stirring, until the sauce becomes your desired consistency.
Move to your favourite bowl and enjoy!
