Fresh Pesto Gnocchi

The basil in my garden is flourishing!  Time to make pesto! 

For the pesto:
Fresh basil (about 1 1/2 cups loosely packed)
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup pine nuts
Olive oil


Start with the pine nuts and garlic in the food processor.  When they are chopped, add the basil and process.  Then lastly add the olive oil until it looks the consistency you want. 

In a pan, saute some chopped onion and sun-dried tomatoes.  When the gnocchi is cooked, add it to the saute and mix the basil in.  A quick, flavorful dinner.
