Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Gnocchetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchetti pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat once the cheese has melted.

  3. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    Add the cooked gnocchetti and crab meat to the Alfredo sauce, gently folding to combine. Drizzle in the pesto sauce and tomato sauce (for the aurora effect), mixing until everything is well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the gnocchetti and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately while hot.
