Instructions
Mix the pesto with 2 tbs of lemon juice and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan (I used a 12" cast iron pan) at medium heat. Add the gnocchi - make sure to separate them - before adding them to the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown on each side. Remove from the pan, set aside on a large bowl or serving plate, and sprinkle a pinch of salt while warm.
Add a tbsp of olive oil to the pan, stir in the broccolini, toss and turn until bright green and add 1/2 tsp of lemon zest along with 1 clove of garlic, stir until fragrant and add 1 tsp of lemon juice, season with a pinch of salt. Remove from the pan and set aside on the same bowl or plate with the gnocchi.
Add another tbsp of olive oil to the pan and add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and the remaining garlic, stir and cook for a couple of minutes, add the wine (or broth), stir and add the basil. Let it steam for a minute. Try not to let them all burst until you incorporate the gnocchi and the broccolini.
Add the gnocchi and the broccolini back to the pan, whisk the pesto sauce and pour over the gnocchi. Stir to coat. Add the shaved zucchini (if using), stir to mix and remove from the heat. The zucchini will cook with the remaining heat from the pan. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve hot over fresh burrata, at room temperature, freshly grated parmesan cheese, and the remaining fresh basil and lemon zest.
