INGREDIENTS
1 cup Potato Gnocchi (150g)
4 oz Grilled Chicken Breast (113g)
100g Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (~20g)
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Light Ricotta Cheese (62.5g)
1 teaspoon Pine Nuts
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to roast the cherry tomatoes.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to blister.
Meanwhile, cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions in a pot of boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, the light ricotta cheese, and a little water if needed. Blend until smooth to form a creamy pesto sauce.
Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and pepper (if not pre-seasoned) and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the creamy basil pesto. Fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes and grilled chicken pieces.
Serve warm, garnishing with a few extra basil leaves or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
