recipe: Gnocchi with Herbs

This is what you can call a 'no-cooking recipe' really, you just have to chop up some stuff, boil some water, and that's it really...and the result is amazing..I was very impressed with the flavours and will definitely repeat this one!

Serves 4 (as a side or small meal):
500g fresh gnocchi, 3 garlic cloves crushed and thinly chopped, 4 tbsp chopped parsley, 3 tbsp chopped coriander, 1 tbsp chopped basil, 2 tbsp pine nuts, 1 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, salt and pepper

1. In a bowl (or mortar and pestle), mix chopped herbs, garlic, pine nuts, oil and lemon juice. Crush everything well and set aside; (you can use a food processor as well)
2. In a sauce pan, heat some water and bring to a boil, add gnocchi and cook until water comes back to a boil. Drain and set aside;
3. Add another tsp olive oil to the same pan, in low heat, add herb mixture, gnocchi and stir to coat. Serve as a side, or as main with some green salad.

Although its full of starch and carbs, it was soooo good I'm salivating just thinking about it. Enjoy!
