  1. First make the mint pesto. Put the mint leaves, garlic cloves, olive oil, half of the pine nuts and two thirds of the watercress in the blender and mix into a pesto.
  2. Stir the grated goat cheese into the pesto. If you like, you can add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Then fry the gnocchi in a large pan with a little olive oil. At the same time, cook the beans in salted water.
  4. As soon as the gnocchi have turned golden, mix in the pesto. Then add the tomatoes and beans.
  5. Now take the pan off the hot stove and mix in the rest of the watercress. Then sprinkle pine nuts on the plates.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
