About this recipe 

"In my Italian family, gnocchi (pronounced “noh-kee”) are traditionally served with a simple homemade tomato sauce, basil and a dusting of Parmesan cheese, but over the years, I’ve experimented with new unique ways to serve gnocchi and still make Nonna proud. What takes this recipe to the next level? In my opinion, it’s the addition of Saputo’s fresh Cocktail Bocconcini in a lemon basil butter sauce. The delicious light and smooth bite-size cheese is so versatile and pairs perfectly with delicate vegetables and soft, pillowy pasta. Truly a heavenly combination! It’s like taking a bite out of little clouds.

To cut the recipe time in half and keep things simple, I usually recommend using store-bought gnocchi. If you want to add a little extra colour, feel free to toss in some lightly sautéed cherry tomatoes. Lastly, don’t forget a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts for a bit of crunch. Trust me when I say you'll be making this recipe again and again!"
