Gnocchi with pepper-parsley pesto and blue cheese

If you have a busy day and you feel that you don't want to spend much time in the kitchen, then this recipe is absolutely for you, easy, simple, nutritious, delicious.

The ingredients you need are:

• A pot of roasted red pepper, in small pieces
• A lot of fresh parsley
• 1 or 2 garlic cloves
• 1 chopped red spanish pepper 
• About 80 gr. grated parmesan or grana padana
• Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon double cream
• 1 pak gnocchi (500 gr)
• A handfull roasted pine nuts
• Some blue cheese, I use normally gorgonzola

First make the pesto, put in a mixer the red pepper, parsley (only the leaves), garlic, spanish pepper, double cream and parmesan, mix well then add some salt, pepper and some olive oil. Mix again until is the pesto is smooth. You can prepare the pesto a few hours in advanced if you keep in the refrigerator, just remember to take out half an hour before cooking, to bring to room temperature.

Follow the instructions on the package to prepare the gnocchi. When ready leave to leak completely, then heat some olive oil in a pan and bake the gnocchi until golden. Put the gnocchi into a baking dish add the pesto, mix well, add the pine nuts and the gorgonzola. In a medium preheated grill bake for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Absolutely fantastic with a green salad and some bread.
