Toasted Gnocchi & Kale Pesto
Share it!

You don’t have to make pesto with basil, in fact, you can choose any green herb you’d like. We’ve gone a little more out of the box and use kale, a nutrient-powerhouse full of vitamin C & K. We’ve also swapped the classic pine nuts for sunflower seeds – equally delicious, but much more affordable. 


Ingredients
12 cup
olive oil, divided
1 lb (450 g)
boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 2 breasts
12 bunch
green kale
14 cup
water
2 - 3 tbsp
lemon juice
3 tbsp
raw sunflower or pepita seeds
2 tbsp
1 pkg (350 g)
Olivieri® Skillet Gnocchi®

Toppings (optional): halved cherry tomatoes, grated parmesan

Preparation
  1. Heat 12 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, cut chicken into bite-sized pieces; stir-fry until cooked through, 6–8 min. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, de-stem kale and tear leaves. You should have about 4 cups (packed). In a food processor or high-speed blender, add kale, water, lemon juice, 3 tbsp oil, seeds, and mix. Blend until well combined, scraping down the sides, as necessary. It will be thick—thin out with more water or oil, if desired.
  4. Over medium heat, heat remaining 12 tbsp oil. Add gnocchi; cook, stirring frequently until golden brown, 4–5 min.
  5. Add cooked chicken and pesto to pan; stir until combined. Add toppings and stir to mix. Serve immediately.
Tips

Look for skillet gnocchi in the refrigerated pasta section of your grocery store. While traditional gnocchi is boiled, this product only requires a quick pan-fry.  The end result is a crispy golden exterior with a soft and fluffy interior.
