Basil Pesto Black Garlic Gnocchi Recipe – Easy and Delicious

Everyone knows the health benefits of white potatoes are minimal, yet they are probably one of the most used vegetables in the kitchen.

• No one ever say’s ” These potatoes are so delicious” unless they are cooked in oil or covered in sauce & spices.

So, when cooking traditional potato gnocchi, the sauce is the key to creating healthy & delicious food the whole family can enjoy! Unless you’re using BLACK GARLIC GNOCCHI!

Black garlic pairs perfectly with potatoes, increasing the flavour, health properties & colour. So, in our recipe, we decided to double up on the black garlic goodness by combining black garlic gnocchi with black garlic puree.

On this occasion, we chose to use chorizo. However, you could substitute that for chicken, fish or even tofu…
