Shortcut Meals: Gnocchi with Pesto, Burst Tomatoes, and Burrata

Sure, you could roll out your gnocchi by hand and make your own pesto (which I seriously recommend trying both- it is so easy!)..or you could take it easy tonight with this sheet pan dinner. Sub in some simple store-bought gnocchi and a jar of pesto sauce and you have a stellar meal in no time!

WHAT TO BUY
32 Ounces Potato Gnocchi
8 Ounces Pesto Sauce, I like Prego Basil Pesto (see note on how to make your own if your heart desires!)
10 Ounces Cherry tomatoes, halved (more if you want!)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 Container of Burrata (usually comes with 4)
1/4 Olive Oil, split
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F.

Toss gnocchi in half of the olive oil and garlic powder and place on a baking sheet. Cut however many cherry tomatoes your heart desires (I used about 10oz) lengthwise, thinly slice a small red onion, and toss in olive oil, garlic power, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bake all for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Next, you can either make pesto or use the store bought. (If you want to make it yourself, just blend about 2 cups of fresh basil, half a cup of Parmesan, fourth cup of olive oil, half a clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt…and the juice of half a lemon if you have it!) Combine everything when the gnocchi and veggies are done and top with a few delicious burrata pieces. Enjoy!
