Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel baked potatoes, cut them in half, and scrape out the insides. Use a ricer or grater to fluff the potatoes.

- Shape the Gnocchi: Roll the dough into logs, cut into pieces, and press with a fork or thumb to create ridges.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Sauté the gnocchi in olive oil until crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Add butter to the pan for flavor.
- Add the Vegetables and Pesto: Introduce fresh peas and basil to the pan. Incorporate pesto carefully to avoid sogginess.
- Final Touches: Finish with lemon zest and juice, then serve garnished with pecorino cheese.
