INGREDIENTS

• 1 bag frozen gnocchi (potato pasta), 13–16 oz. size
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 1/2 lb. cleaned fresh scallops (sea or bay scallops, or substitute any size cleaned shrimp)
• 2 oz. heavy cream
• 1/4 cup of your favorite basil pesto
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (optional) 

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi to package instructions.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until golden. Add scallops and sauté until golden. (If using shrimp, cook until they turn pink.) Add cream and warm through.
