Directions
This bowl of sweet potato gnocchi with vegetables is a great mid-week meal that comes together quickly!
Don’t get me wrong, making gnocchi at home is pretty simple but it is very messy.
This is why I opt for my store-bought gnocchi options.
Gnocchi are an Italian pasta and most commonly made with potato, flour and eggs.
There are different varieties of gnocchi available including ricotta, cauliflower, spinach, sweet potato, are more!
I love this recipe as it falls under the “let me be lazy” weeknight dinner and it only takes a handful of ingredients and less than 20 minutes!
Gnocchi are great for this as they only take a couple of minutes to cook!
Once the gnocchi float, they are fully cooked and ready.
For the vegetables, you can use whatever you have on hand!
I like using shallot, zucchini and tomato.
The vegetables are sauteed in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
To sauce is a mixture of the olive oil with the juices of the vegetables and a bit of the cooking liquid from the gnocchi.
That cooking liquid is salted and contains starch from the gnocchi which helps with binding the sauce when it’s tossed with the ingredients.
