The story behind this recipe
A colorful dish full of flavor, but also quite easy to make. As it happens, I read today that in Rome, gnocchi is the dish of the day every Thursday, so you have one more reason to try this recipe :)
For 3 portions you will need:
**2 potatoes boiled in their skins**
**2 eggs**
**approximately 1 cup of flour**
**A pinch of salt**
**And another pinch of nutmeg**
For the sauce:
**2 large tablespoons of pesto**
**2 cloves of garlic**
**2 tablespoons of cream (I used sour cream, but if you have heavy cream it's much better, and use about 200 ml)**
**1/2 teaspoon of turmeric**
**Salt**
**Olive oil**
Make the gnocchi exactly as [here](https://thinkovereatsmart.blogspot.ro/2017/01/gnocchi-cu-sfecla-si-smantana.html).
**Tips**: To get a nicer, more rounded shape, I recommend cutting the gnocchi with the back of a knife.
For the turmeric sauce, sauté the garlic, add the cream, turmeric, and salt. Leave on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it rest until you boil the pasta.
Pesto (which I already had made) should be mixed with the pasta separately.
Arrange them on the plate as you please. I just gave an example.
Enjoy!
