Directions

  • Set a pot of water on the stove to boil, take out a sauté pan, small strainer or slotted spoon and a baking sheet.
  • Once the water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon of oil or butter to the fry pan and turn it on medium heat. Add the frozen gnocchi to the boiling water (don’t crowd them); they will sink at first then will float once they are cooked through. (about 3-4 minutes)
  • Once they float use the strainer or slotted spoon to transfer them from the pot to the hot sauté pan to cook, even once sides for 2-3 minutes, then turn down heat another minute or so. Transfer to a serving bowl or directly into the pesto.
  • Return gnocchi to the pan, pour in the pesto and combine until the sauce bubbles. Transfer to bowls.
  • Add the short ribs to the same pan and heat them through. Reheat the zucchini in the oven at 375 for 10-15 minutes, until heated through. (Or you may in the microwave)
