Hello😊, today I want to tell you about an easy and super tasty recipe: basil and bean gnocchi, perfect for when we crave something delicious without complicating things too much. It’s one of those healthy, quick, and fragrant recipes that make you feel like it’s summer, even if it’s raining outside!
The nice thing is that you only need a few ingredients: cooked beans, fresh basil, a pinch of salt, and some flour. That’s it. Blend everything together, knead it, and then cut the gnocchi with scissors directly on the board. No stress, no complicated tools. And the result? Soft, fragrant little gnocchi with a delicate taste. I dressed them with homemade pesto, but they’re also perfect with a drizzle of olive oil, some sautéed cherry tomatoes, or simply butter and sage.
This homemade vegetarian gnocchi recipe is perfect for those looking for a vegetarian main course, rich in vegetable proteins and with an aromatic touch thanks to the basil.

If you are looking for simple bean recipes, or want to try homemade gnocchi without potatoes, this is the perfect solution. And trust me, kids will love them too!
Plus, it’s a zero-waste recipe: if you have cooked beans in the fridge, it’s an ideal way to turn them into something special. And the basil? If you have a plant in your garden like me, now’s the time to use it!
In short, these basil and bean gnocchi are a quick, healthy, and fragrant treat. Try them and then tell me if they don’t seem like they’ve come straight out of a country kitchen, where everything tastes good and is made with love.
