Whole Wheat Gnocchi with Pesto

Whole Wheat Gnocchi with Pesto, let’s try our pesto made just a week ago, for those who want the Genovese Pesto recipe, you can click directly here. Today for my whole wheat gnocchi with pesto, I chose whole wheat flour, an experiment, I would say a successful one! To dress the whole wheat gnocchi, I thought of my Genovese Pesto which I usually prepare at the end of summer and store in glass jars portioned for two in the freezer, very convenient and practical. Whole wheat gnocchi with pesto is a very simple and quick preparation like the classic ones, with the variant of whole wheat flour. Another way to dress the very good whole wheat gnocchi is with Treviso radicchio baked in the oven and stracchino cheese or with a fondue of fresh cheeses and parmesan.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
