Before tossing our gnocchi with a fresh pesto of spinach, almonds, capers and more, we're sautéing them (alongside asparagus) in a pan of browned butter, for a layer of rich, nutty flavor. Add the pesto sauce to it. In a pan heat up water and boil these rounds. Pesto from the refridgerated section of the market works much better than a jarred pesto sauce. Add lots of salt to the boiling water to help flavor the gnocchi.
