Instructions
Cook the Gnocchi
Boil gnocchi according to package directions until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.
Make the Sauce
In a skillet over medium heat, saute garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in pesto and heavy cream. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Combine and Finish
Add drained gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve
Plate the gnocchi and top generously with grated parmesan. Serve immediately while hot.
