Easy Kale Pesto Gnocchi

In the blender or food processor, blend together Basil Pesto (1/2 cup) and Kale (3 1/3 cups) until combined.

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil with a generous pinch of Salt (to taste). Once boiling, add Gnocchi (2 lb). Cook for about 3 minutes or according to package directions. Once done, transfer to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, just in case you need to loosen the sauce later.

Add kale pesto sauce and Grated Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup) to the bowl with the gnocchi. Mix until combined (make sure to mix gnocchi with pesto while the gnocchi is still hot). If it thickens too much, add a splash of the pasta water to loosen.

Sprinkle more parmesan on top if desired and serve. For a spicy kick, garnish with a few Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (to taste).
