How to Reheat Potato Gnocchi Without Ruining Pesto

Question

Hi, I made the potato gnocchi recipe (March-April 2019) and while they came out really good and all, not gummy, light and fluffy, by letting them cool for 15 min to firm up, they also are no longer hot when eating them. I prepared them with pesto, so the sauce was room temperature already. What would u suggest? let them dry up in the oven at 200F instead of on the counter? Just skip the step? reheat them? thx!

Hi Federica - We would probably put them in a skillet with a little bit of reserved pasta water (maybe a few tablespoons - 1/4 cup of water?) over low - medium-low heat until they are hot again. Then toss with the pesto. We always recommend adding a little bit of reserved pasta water with pesto anyway so it shouldn't negatively impact the sauce. Best, The Milk Street Team
