Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup walnuts
1 pound potato gnocchi
4 garlic scapes, chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt and fresh coarsely ground black pepper to taste
1 ¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Roast walnuts in a pan over medium heat until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant. Allow to cool and roughly chop.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain well. Put in prepared baking dish in one layer. Sprinkle walnuts over gnocchi.
  • Trim garlic scapes if needed by cutting off ends and tips. If you have very fresh and young stalks you can use the entire stalk. Finely chop.
  • Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic scapes and saute for 1 minute. Don't brown butter. Season with salt and pepper and layer over gnocchi. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
