If you know me you know that I absolutely love making gnocchi. Both the vegan (eggless) and the normal version (we also added the eggless option below). Gnocchi are definitely one of the easiest types of pasta to make and you can even make them without any specific tools. This Gnocchi al Pesto recipe is one of my favourite ones to make as I love Pesto alla Genovese and the gnocchis really absorb it well.

Gnocchi are the easiest and quickest pasta you can make at home, you don’t need any special equipment or skills and it’s quite hard to mess them up. This being said, you can also buy already made Gnocchi to make this recipe if time doesn’t allow you to make them from scratch. The original recipe “Gnocchi alla Sorrentina” is made exactly the same but instead of scamorza you would use fior di latte. I decided to use scamorza affumicata (smoked scamorza) because I’m addicated to it and could add it to any dish. Scamorza is a close relative of Mozzarella yet it’s firmer and if you buy the smoked version you will get this delicious smokey taste in your tomato sauce.
