  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of store-bought gnocchi (about 16 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Toss in the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Pour the white wine into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Increase the heat slightly and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce the wine slightly. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring well. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss everything together to coat the gnocchi in the flavorful white wine lemon sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired. This summer gnocchi pairs well with a light white wine or sparkling water with lemon for an extra refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, or spinach to customize your Veggie Gnocchi Recipe.

  • For best taste, serve the dish immediately. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet with a splash of white wine or water to maintain texture.
