Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) bag gnocchi
  • ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup pesto
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until al dente according to package directions.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together broth, pesto, Greek yogurt, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sauce, Parmesan, and cooked gnocchi. Heat until warmed through and cheese is melty, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with extra freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top and serve immediately.

Notes

My Top Tip: Cook the gnocchi just until tender before adding it to the sauce. It finishes warming in the skillet, so this helps it stay soft without becoming mushy.
Storage: Store leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through, adding a little water as necessary to loosen the sauce.
