Mmm, No Wheat!

It's just been a little over a week, but I have a couple easy Gluten-Free friendly recipes to share for anyone interested.  Has definitely made the adjustment less painful.  By the way, in the spirit of being completely transparent, I have not become 100% GF yet.  Hey, sometimes when there are no options, a girl's just gotta eat.

Brown Butter & Pesto Gnocchi (adapted from Martha Stewart)

Ingredients:

1 package of gnocchi (make sure it does not contain wheat)

1 large egg yolk

1 teaspoon of lemon zest

3 teaspoons of EVOO (extra virgin olive-oil)

1 teaspoon of salt

3 tablespoons of unsalted butter

Pinch of freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup of pesto

1/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan

Steps: 

Cook gnocchi as directed.

In a bowl, combine egg yolk, lemon zest, olive oil, and salt.

Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat.  Add butter.  When butter begins to brown add pepper and salt.

Add the gnocchi and pesto.  Cook, stirring occasionally.

Serve immediately, with dusting of Parmesan cheese.
