    Thank you Thinking Thermomix, so true about omitting the cream and just having a pesto. My husband isn't a huge fan of cream but he also loves the creamy sauce with the gnocchi. X

    This was delicious, my very fussy husband was very impressed. The creaminess was great with gnocchi. It was actually also great without the cream, just as a plain pesto with penne, yum both ways!
