Gnocchi with Summer Vegetables

A few minutes in a skillet transforms ripe tomatoes and zucchini into a fresh sauce for gnocchi.

Prep: 15 minutes
Total: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 zucchini or summer squash, or one of each (about 2 pounds total), quartered and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 package (15 to 16 ounces) frozen gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add squash and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until juicy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid, drain gnocchi and transfer to skillet. Toss gnocchi, adding enough cooking liquid to create a sauce. Remove from heat and stir in basil, cheese, butter, and lemon juice.
