INGREDIENTS
150g Potato Gnocchi
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Pine Nuts
15g Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 cup Cooked Chickpeas
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast for about 10-12 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst.
Meanwhile, cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface, then drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, pine nuts, the measured olive oil, and roasted cherry tomatoes. Blend until roughly smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and shredded Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, creating a creamy basil pesto sauce.
Gently toss the cooked gnocchi and chickpeas in the creamy pesto until well coated. If needed, adjust seasonings.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh basil or a light sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
