Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the gnocchi and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions, or until they begin to float to the surface. Transfer them to a colander with a slotted spoon.
Return the pan to the heat and bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans and peas and cook until tender, 2–3 minutes. Drain and let the vegetables cool.

Combine the pesto and mayonnaise in a large bowl. Add the Parmesan and cooled vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the gnocchi. Sprinkle with more Parmesan, if desired.
