Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • chili flakes
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 pound fresh potato gnocchi
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 clove garlic, lemon zest, and chili flakes. Cook until the butter browns, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
  • To the same skillet, add the gnocchi and 5 tablespoons butter. Allow the gnocchi to get crispy, about 4-5 minutes, then toss with the butter and add the garlic. Cook another 2 minutes, then stir in the pesto and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Break the burrata into serving bowls. Add the asparagus, then spoon over the gnocchi. Top with parmesan and extra pesto.
