Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
Step 2
Roast walnuts in a pan over medium heat until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant. Allow to cool and roughly chop.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain well. Put in prepared baking dish in one layer. Sprinkle walnuts over gnocchi.
Step 4
Trim garlic scapes if needed by cutting off ends and tips. If you have very fresh and young stalks you can use the entire stalk. Finely chop.
Step 5
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic scapes and saute for 1 minute. Don't brown butter. Season with salt and pepper and layer over gnocchi. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
