Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package Potato Gnocchi Store-bought or homemade
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Melted for sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic Cloves Fresh and minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 cup Bell Peppers Choose colorful varieties
- 1 medium Zucchini Sliced or in half-moons
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Halved
- 2 cups Spinach Fresh leaves
- 1 small Red Onion Thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese For serving
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes until they float). Drain and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced red onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant—about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped bell peppers and zucchini, cooking until they are tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened (about 3 minutes).
- Return the cooked gnocchi to the pan and toss everything together gently, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Take off the heat and plate. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley for a pop of flavor.
Notes
Gnocchi can be made from scratch or store-bought. For a lighter version, olive oil can replace butter. Spinach can be substituted with kale or Swiss chard.
