Ingredients

2 servings

2 Tbsp . olive oil
1 lb . asparagus, tough ends removed, and cut into 2″ pieces
1 lb . large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 (16 oz.) package vacuum-packed gnocchi
1/4 cup pesto, homemade or store-bought
salt and freshly ground black pepper
(optional garnishes: parmesan and toasted pine nuts)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and saute for 3 minutes. Then add shrimp, season everything with salt and (lots of!) freshly ground black pepper, and continue sauteing until shrimp are cooked (pink and no longer translucent). Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts of generously-salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add gnocchi to pan; cook 3-4 minutes or until done (gnocchi will rise to surface). Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon; place in a large bowl. Add asparagus, shrimp and pesto, and then stir until everything is evenly coated.
Add extra garnishes if you’d like. Serve immediately.
