Potato Gnocchi with Pesto

Homemade gnocchi is the kind of hands-on dish that seems like it would take a family of gray-haired aunts to make. But these featherlight potato dumplings, tossed with fragrant basil pesto, are remarkably easy to shape. You can make the gnocchi up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerate them until 1 hour before cooking.
