Italian gnocchi with an exotic twist of spicy peanut pesto and sweet-aromatic tomatoes

Preheat the oven grill. Chop the peanuts and set some aside for topping. Peel and chop the garlic. Make a pesto with the chopped peanuts, cheese, half the chopped garlic, basil, 10 tablespoons of olive oil, and a little water. Season with a little salt and pepper. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. In a bowl, mix them with the remaining chopped garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Place the tomato mixture on a baking sheet and grill under the oven grill for 5 minutes. Prepare the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Toss the finished gnocchi with the pesto and divide among plates. Serve with the grilled tomatoes and the remaining chopped peanuts.
