Sun-dried Tomato and Pesto Gnocchi

Gnocchi, pronounced (KNOW-KEY) is basically a small dumpling made from potato that is sort of like a potato pasta. Potatoes get a bad rap but they are a great source of energy, vitamin C, and potassium, which are all important nutrients for our growing littles. Source: Instagram/itsthecardamom
