Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: grated parmesan or vegan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the vegetables and prepare the garlic arbitrarily fine for infusing flavor.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, usually about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with the vegetables and sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in chopped basil.
- Serve your summer gnocchi hot, garnished with fresh basil and optional grated cheese. For a more indulgent variation, sprinkle with parmesan or plant-based cheese for a vegan touch.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Gnocchi may become mushy upon reheating, so consume promptly for the best texture.
