Creamy Pesto Gnocchi w/ricotta

This is a recipe I tried last night and it was surprisingly very good. I changed a few things from the orginal receipe I got from Real Simple but it was a VERY quick easy meal and I served it with garlic crostini to mop up all the good left over sauce.

1 - 1lb gnocchi
1 - 8oz store bought pesto
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup ricotta
1/4 cup parmigiana cheese

Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions. Drain and return to pot. Add the pesto and cream to gnocchi and cook over medium heat, stirring, just until through, about 2-3 minutes. Add in ricotta cheese and parmigiana cheese and stir until melted. Salt and pepper...and then serve with garlic bread/crostini to mop up the extra yummy cheesy sauce. Enjoy!
