Directions

Pick the small leaves with thin stems of the watercress, discard the tougher stems that will make the pesto taste very bitter.

In a bowl of food processer, add watercress, cilantro, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and garlic, and process until finely ground.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Put in a jar and seal it well, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Prepare the gnocchi according to the package direction.

Toss the cooked gnocchi gently with about ½ cup pesto until well coated.

Serve warm and enjoy.

Season with more lemon juice, salt and black pepper if desired.
