Quick and Easy

Gnocchi with broccoli and scape pesto

When you need a meal that's fast and easy and delicious, it's helpful to have a package of potato gnocchi lying around. If you have a package of potato gnocchi around, and your boss has a small garden and brings you a romanesco broccoli head, it may occur to you to saute the broccoli (and leaves!) to go with the gnocchi. If you saute the broccoli and leaves to go with the gnocchi, you may want to use the leftover olive oil from frying sage leaves for frying the broccoli. And if you fry up broccoli in a bit of sage-flavored olive oil, you may want to add some homemade scape pesto that's been sitting in your freezer. And if you add some homemade scape pesto, you may want to go ahead and use the last little broccoli and cauliflower florets harvested from your garden. And if you do all these things, you may well sigh contentedly after your quick and easy meal at the incredible deliciousness that 4 ingredients can make.
