  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the vegetables and prepare the garlic arbitrarily fine for infusing flavor.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
