Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi (not frozen or refrigerated)
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 pint (1 cup) grape or cherry tomatoes, halved crosswise
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella pearls or bocconcini (small fresh mozzarella cheese balls)

Steps

  • 1
    In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi in single layer; cook 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crunchy on the outside.
  • 2
    Add pesto and tomatoes; cook about 2 minutes or until warm. Remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella pearls. Serve warm.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Can’t find mozzarella pearls? Fresh mozzarella cut into small cubes works just as well.
  • tip 2
    For added flavor, add 1 clove chopped garlic to the skillet with the olive oil.
