Gnocchi isn't really pasta -- it's made of potatoes, which is why I have omitted the traditional boiled potatoes from this recipe. The original recipe uses real pasta, adding pesto, potatoes, peas, and green beans to the glorious dish. I wasn't too keen on the whole double carb thing, and you don't really need it, either, as the gnocchi are really the star ingredient here. This is honestly hands-down one of the easiest dishes I have ever made. It's the perfect moreish weeknight dinner, when nothing but a bowlful of carbs and a creamy sauce will do. And since it contains vegetables, I deem it healthy... or healthy enough.
