Since we are on the tangent of Ordon goat cheese, we will utilize the awesome pesto that we made on our last quest to create an easy, but fancy pasta dish your family will love.
The Gear:1/3 cup Ordon Goat Cheese Pesto Get Recipe Here.
4 oz. Prosciutto Ham torn into small pieces
1/2 cup Frozen Peas
17.6 oz. Gluten Free Gnocchi
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
The Quest:
In a large nonstick pan, add a little olive oil and begin to crisp up your prosciutto pieces over medium low heat. This will help to render any fat. In the meantime, start a pot of boiling water to cook the gnocchi.Once the prosciutto is crispy, drop your Gnocchi in the boiling water, salting the water first. Cook according to the directions, mine called for two minutes.
Scoop the Gnoochi into the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the cooking liquid in the pot. Don't forget to turn off the pot. If you feel the need to dump out your pasta water, save about 1/2 cup for later.
Turning up the pan to medium, toss the gnocchi's in the pan with the prosciutto for a few minutes letting them take on the flavors in the pan. Add the frozen peas and let them steam up and cook for just a minute. Then add the Ordon goat cheese pesto. Stir and add a ladle of the salted pasta water. Stir until the goat cheese melts and creates a nice sauce. Check salt and pepper.
