TOASTED GNOCCHI SKILLET

I always love gnocchi! I haven’t made it from scratch yet (although I plan to in the future), it is something I almost always order when its on a menu. This recipe is very easy and also used some of our tomatoes, basil and spinach from the garden. I hope you like it and if you do, let me know how it turned out!

TOASTED GNOCCHI SKILLET

Serves 3-4

1 package Gnocchi

2 cups grape tomatoes halved

2 tbs butter - divided

1 tbs olive oil

1 cup grilled corn from cob

2 slices cooked bacon diced 

1-2 cups arugula and/or spinach

2 tbs sliced fresh basil

¼ cup crumbled feta

¼ cup shaved parm/romano or combination

Bring water to boil in a saucepan, add gnocchi and cook till almost done, drain.

In a large skillet melt 1 tbs butter and olive oil on medium high heat.   Add tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.   Cook cut side down till almost tender.   Turn and continue to cook; add corn to heat.   When tomatoes are soft, remove all to a plate or bowl.

Heat 1 tbs butter in the skillet and add the cooked gnocchi on medium/high heat.   Turn gnocchi when slightly brown.   Continue to cook for a couple minutes and then add the tomatoes, corn, bacon, arugula (and/or spinach) stirring until heated.  Add cheeses and top with basil.

Enjoy!!
