Ingredients 

  • A few swirls of olive oil
  • 1 package potato gnocchi, 16 oz.
  • ½ pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup prepared pesto sauce, more to taste
  • ¼ cup black olives, halved
  • Feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions 

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi in a single layer and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Turn gnocchi and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned to your taste. Add tomatoes and olives, cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add pesto and crumbled Feta. Stir.

Notes

    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!

    Gnochhi are so yummy, but I think the combination of gnocchi with tomatoes and feta is even better! It looks really good.

  5. Danni Baird @ Silo Hill Farm says:

    Looks good, but I'm not a feta fan…I'll sub some fresh mozzarella for the feta. Yumm!
