With premade gnocchi and pesto, this dish becomes a great weeknight meal, but it can also be a weekend treat by making both fresh. I served this with garlic bread and salads and the fresh green beans helped it work well even for a warm evening meal. Read more This could easily be made vegetarian by leaving out the meat. See less
