A friend gifted me some delicious pesto she had made, so I searched the web and your recipe appealed to me the most. I made this yesterday for dinner. It was soooo good! I had all the ingredients, and this was fast and easy. I froze two portions for future work lunches. I would say this is definitely company-worthy, served with a big salad and garlic toast. Yum! I love the simplicity of your recipes, so will definitely be back for more. Thank you!
Love this combo of flavors! Thanks for sharing at Saturday Dishes, featuring you this week!

Gnochhi are so yummy, but I think the combination of gnocchi with tomatoes and feta is even better! It looks really good.
Looks good, but I'm not a feta fan…I'll sub some fresh mozzarella for the feta. Yumm!
That looks like the perfect dish for summer!
Thank you for sharing this on Tasty Thursday!
