Golden, crispy gnocchi is the ultimate comfort food – and this version is ready in under 20 minutes. Pan-fried for texture, tossed with Belazu’s vibrant Traditional Genovese Pesto, and topped with juicy air-fried cherry tomatoes, it’s all brought together with a good grating of parmesan. The kind of dish that feels like a treat but couldn’t be easier.

3. Once the gnocchi is golden, remove from heat and stir through Belazu Genovese Pesto and parmesan.
