Dice the zucchini and onion. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside. Heat oil in a pan. Fry the onion until translucent, add the zucchini cubes, and fry for 5 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and herbs. Add the pesto to the pan with the vegetables and fry until lightly browned. After a few minutes, stir in the Cremefine and simmer over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes, until the sauce has a creamy consistency. Season again if desired. Finally, add the cooked gnocchi to the pan, mix with the other ingredients, and let stand for 1-2 minutes. Arrange the dish on a plate and serve with grated cheese, if desired.
