I love spending time in the kitchen and to make meals from-scratch. But sometimes I do miss it to simply open a jar of pesto and make a simple pasta without thinking.

I have only found one ready-made pesto in the Netherlands that is low FODMAP. Therefore I usually make low FODMAP pesto from scratch, using this recipe. 

If you want to make this recipe vegan, you can leave the cheese out or replace it with a tablespoon of nutritional yeast.

With only six ingredients, this is a very simple vegetarian recipe. Gnocchi fills you up a lot, so even with only a few ingredients this is a filling meal.

Love gnocchi just as much as I do?
Give the other gnocchi recipes on the blog a try too:
