Method

Prepare the Gnocchi

  1. 1

    Cook Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    Mash the cooked sweet potatoes in a bowl. Add the flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, roll the dough into logs about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and press with a fork to create ridges. Set aside.

Prepare the Pesto

  1. 4

    Blend Pesto Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Cook the Shrimp and Combine

  1. 5

    Sauté Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 6

    Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes

    Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 7

    Combine Gnocchi and Pesto

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and add to the skillet with the shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes. Pour in the pesto and toss everything together until well combined.
