Gnocchi isn't really pasta -- it's made of potatoes, which is why I have omitted the traditional boiled potatoes from this recipe. The original recipe uses real pasta, adding pesto, potatoes, peas, and green beans to the glorious dish. I wasn't too keen on the whole double carb thing, and you don't really need it, either, as the gnocchi are really the star ingredient here. This is honestly hands-down one of the easiest dishes I have ever made. It's the perfect moreish weeknight dinner, when nothing but a bowlful of carbs and a creamy sauce will do. And since it contains vegetables, I deem it healthy... or healthy enough.

You could have mentioned that in order for this to be vegan, you also need to buy vegan pesto.
Maybe this is something that other people know, but as one unfamiliar with Italian sauces, I assumed from this recipe that pesto must be vegan and did not look to carefully over the ingredients when buying it. I did so today,and I realized that the sauce I had been using contains two types of cheese, one of which (padano) also contains egg proteins somehow. Also, both of the cheeses (padano and pecorino romano) are made from animal rennet, making this sauce not even vegetarian! So in conclusion, no complaints about the recipe itself, and I\’m sure it will taste great with vegan pesto, but some clearer labeling of the ingredients would be appreciated!
