Now I would like to introduce you to my Gnocchi Pan with Pesto. A seasonal dish that delights with its simplicity.
In spring I am very excited, then I can go to the forest and collect wild garlic. Fortunately I don’t have far to go for it. If you can’t collect wild garlic in this time of year, just buy it. In summer and autumn I switch to basil pesto and in between I process carrot green into a wonderful sauce.
You can prepare the gnocchi for our dish yourself. So only tested quality comes on the plate!
Stay culinary inspired – I hope you enjoy cooking!
The dough for homemade potato dumplings consists of grated or finely pressed, cooked potatoes.
The list of ingredients is clear:
I have already published the step by step instructions elsewhere: Have a look at Making Gnocchi yourself. Try it out, it’s easy and fast!
If you don’t have time to knead the dough, you can also buy the potato gnocchi in the supermarket or in the Italian Alimantari specialty shop. Uncooked goods are better than pre-cooked ones, but at the same time I would prefer Italian brands in the selection.
For this dish I have already prepared three sauce variations for you, maybe more will follow. Please let yourself be inspired by the market offer and enjoy the following ideas…
Wild Garlic Pesto
Well, wild garlic pesto is not ready in the cooler. A homemade wild garlic pesto is therefore something very special!
In Germany the bear’s garlic is in season from March to the end of May. With a little luck you can even get fresh bear’s garlic in the supermarket. Maybe you will also visit the local weekly market and find what you are looking for there.
In spring I go to the local deciduous forest or mixed forest. There the bear’s garlic grows best. It really doesn’t get any fresher than that!
So that confusion with the poisonous lily of the valley, for example, is impossible, please smell the plant: it smells delicately of garlic!
Basil Pesto
We know this delicious basil sauce mostly through a popular dish, the spaghetti with pesto genovese. You need lots of fresh basil, roasted pine nuts, olive oil and finely grated parmesan. The preparation with step by step photos I show you at the recipe Pesto.
Carrot Green Pesto
I have saved an extremely exciting sauce variant until the end! It is carrot green pesto and that is really something ingenious! Yes, you can eat the green of the carrot and it tastes wonderful refined to the cold sauce. Just try the Carrot Green Pesto and surprise your loved ones with a new creation!
