Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic crushed
1 pound gnocchi
½ cup fresh pesto can be store bought or homemade
¼ cup mascarpone
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup white wine
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a large frying pan, combine crushed garlic with butter, cook over medium heat for a minute until fragrant.
Lower heat to low, add mascarpone, heavy cream, wine and parmesan.
Add gnocchi and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes until gnocchi is tender. Be sure that the sauce doesn't get too warm here. You want to cook the gnocchi but don't want to sauce to separate.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in pesto.
Serve with fresh parmesan, chopped fresh basil and salt and pepper.
