Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of kale gnocchi 
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of mozzarella pearls
  • 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup of vegan kale cashew and basil pesto 

Instructions

    1. Chop the Ingredients. On a cutting board chop the ½ cup of mozzarella pearls and ½ cup of cherry tomatoes in half.
    2. Cook the Gnocchi. Heat the stovetop to medium heat. Place the 1 cup of kale gnocchi on the pan and drizzle ⅓ cup of olive oil over it. Add more olive oil if needed. Allow it to cook for around 10-15 minutes. I like the gnocchi to brown a bit but you can remove it once it is automatically cooked all the way through.
    3. Combine Ingredients. Add the kale gnocchi to a bowl. Then add in the chopped mozzarella pearls and cherry tomatoes. Then add in the ⅓ cup of pesto. Mix the ingredients around the bowl so all portions are evenly distributed. Add in extra cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, or pesto if you desire more.

Notes

Any type of pesto, tomato, or mozzarella can be used. I just found these taste the best and are the easiest to cut.
