Gnocchi With Chicken Pesto And Fresh Mozzarella Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper; cook and stir in the hot oil until no longer pink in the middle, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining drippings in the pan.
• Pour chicken broth into the saucepan. Bring broth to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; continue cooking until the broth reduces in volume by about half, 7 to 10 minutes. Return cooked chicken to the saucepan. Stir pesto through the chicken mixture; remove from heat.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook gnocchi at a boil until they float to the top, about 3 minutes. Remove gnocchi from the water to a large bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining water in the pot.
• Place the saucepan with the chicken and pesto over the boiling water; cook and stir over the boiling water until warmed completely, about 5 minutes. Pour chicken and pesto mixture over the gnocchi; add mozzarella and stir until evenly mixed.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pan.
• Cook chicken over medium heat until browned.
• Place Gnocchi in a pot of water and boil.
• Meanwhile, remove chicken from pan and cover.
• Add garlic to pan.
• Add wine and simmer uncovered until almost evaporated.
• Add pesto and cream and bring to the boil.
• Serve chicken on top of cooked, drained gnocchi and cover with sauce.

Steps:

• First, prepare the pesto. Tip the parmesan into a blender or food processor. Peel the garlic, tear the leaves from the bunch of basil and add both along with the oil and pine nuts. Blitz to a paste, season to taste and set aside.
• Now for the gnocchi, tip the parmesan into a medium bowl. Add the thyme (or the dried oregano) along with the mascarpone, plain flour, eggs and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix together to give a soft dough. Then tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead together to form a smooth ball.
• Divide the mixture in three and roll each one out into a sausage about 60cm/23in long. Cut each ˜sausage™ into 2cm/1 in pieces to give about 30 (so 90 in total). Halfway through, put a large frying pan on a medium to high heat with a drizzle of oil and the butter.
• Divide the gnocchi between the two pans and turn down low. Leave the gnocchi to cook on one side for a minute, before carefully turning them over with a fish slice. Cook for a further four minutes, continuing to gently turn them every so often until they are crisp and golden all over and warmed through. If the gnocchi didn't fit in your pans then tip the cooked ones in a bowl, cover with tin foil to keep warm and cook the remainder, adding more oil and butter as necessary.
• Once all the gnocchi are cooked, stir the pesto through until evenly coated. Add in the rocket leaves and mix together. Then, divide between four serving plates and scatter the pine nuts over. Give a good grind of black pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Put a pot on the stove with the chicken broth in it and heat to boiling.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, saute the onion in the oil on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and saute for a minute more until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly brown and most of their liquid is evaporated; push to the side of the pan. Add the chicken and saute, stirring often, until just cooked through. Add the soup, the pesto, and the seasonings to the pan and stir to combine everything thoroughly. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the gnocchi are ready.
• When the broth reaches a boil, carefully add the gnocchi and stir to separate. Add extra water if needed to give the gnocchi plenty of liquid. Cook until the gnocchi are done and float to the surface. Using a spider strainer, transfer the gnocchi to the saute pan. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the cooking broth and stir to combine. Serve in pasta bowls with grated parmesan and bread.

Steps:

• Place pot of water to boil for gnocchi. Cut the chicken breasts in strips and season with salt and pepper.
• In a frying pan, add enough oil to saute the chicken breasts. Once water in pot is boiling, add gnocchi and cook until they float to the top. Remove and set aside.
• Once the chicken is cooked, add the gnocchi, parmesan cheese and pesto and mix well. (you do not want to add the gnocchi to soon because then it will just fall apart and be mushy -- not so yummy).
• Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a 3-quart, oven-safe dish (like a 9-by-13-inch pan or a Dutch oven), combine the bell peppers, tomatoes, 1/4 cup oil, chipotle and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine, then place on the oven's center rack.
• On a sheet pan, break up the gnocchi and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil (no need to boil first). Season with salt and shake into an even layer. Transfer to the oven's bottom rack. Roast both the vegetables and the gnocchi until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and the gnocchi is crisp underneath and still squishy in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes (no need to stir partway through).
• Transfer the gnocchi to the roasted peppers and stir until the gnocchi is glossy red.
