Toast the pine nuts in a pan without oil. Meanwhile, grate the Parmesan cheese and pick the basil leaves. Set aside a few leaves for garnish. Peel and halve the garlic clove. Using a hand blender, puree the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper until relatively smooth. Fold in the Parmesan cheese. Mix the gnocchi with the pesto and place in a baking dish. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella and arrange them alternately on top of the gnocchi. Place the casserole in the oven at 180°C (convection oven) for 20 minutes. Garnish with the basil leaves before serving. 604 kcal per serving.
