Method:

1. Add all your ingredients into either a small food processor or a jug with a barmaid and blitz until smooth, combined and almost creamy like in texture.
2. For the Gnocchi, peel and quarter potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender then drain in a colander and allow potatoes to steam and dry slightly. Press potatoes through a fine drum sieve into a large bowl.
3. Add flour and salt and mix gently to form a dough.
4. Roll the dough into 2cm thick logs and cut into 2cm pieces.
5. Roll each piece across on wooden ridged gnocchi board, or back of a fork.
6. Cook your gnocchi in salted boiling water until they float, add to a fry pan with a ladle of cooking water and enough pesto to coat the gnocchi, toss to combine and serve with extra parmigiana cheese on top.
