1/2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp oil, (divided)
500 g (~ 2 2/3 cups) potato gnocchi
70 g broccoli, (cut into small florets (~ 1 cup when chopped))
1 small leek, (halved lengthwise then sliced)
125 ml (~ 1/2 cup) vegetable stock
~ 8 spears asparagus, (cut into 1 inch chunks)
~ 6 cherry tomatoes, (halved)
2 cloves garlic, (minced)
100 g (~ 1/2 cup) tinned sweetcorn
1 tbsp (heaped) creme fraiche

Black pepper
Fresh parsley, (chopped, to serve)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan, and add the gnocchi. Cook over a medium heat, stirring regularly, until crispy and golden brown (around 10 minutes). Remove the gnocchi from the pan, and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil in the pan, and add the broccoli and leek. Cook for a few minutes over a medium heat until the leek is soft.

CRISPY GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO AND RED ONION



Crispy Gnocchi With Tomato and Red Onion image

Inspired by panzanella, the beloved Tuscan bread salad, this dish swaps out stale bread for pan-fried gnocchi. The plump, crusty dumplings do a surprisingly good job at soaking up the summery combination of tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and olive oil, while still maintaining their crisp edge. Shelf-stable gnocchi work best, as they are sturdier and crisp up well, but you could use frozen gnocchi, taking extra care not to move them around too much in the pan so they don't break apart. Top with a sharp cheese such as Parmesan, pecorino or ricotta salata, for a hit of saltiness, if you like. This meal is best eaten immediately while the gnocchi remains crispy, but it can sit for up to 30 minutes, giving the flavors time to mingle. (However, don't let it sit too long, as the gnocchi will turn mushy.)

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (17-ounce) package shelf-stable (or frozen) potato gnocchi
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (any variety)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
Handful of chopped parsley, plus more for serving
Handful of torn basil, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large (about 12-inch), well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high; add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the gnocchi to the pan, breaking up any that are stuck together. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing every 1 ½ to 2 minutes so they get golden and crispy all over.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your tomatoes: If you are using small ones like cherry or grape varieties, simply slice them in half. For larger tomatoes, quarter them or slice into bite-size chunks. (It is good to have a mix of shapes and sizes.) Place the tomatoes and onions in a large serving bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper and gently toss.
  • When the gnocchi are golden and crispy, add them to the tomatoes, along with 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil and a handful each of parsley and basil. Toss and taste, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
  • Top with more parsley and basil, and eat immediately or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • If you don't have fresh vegetables, you can use frozen or canned vegetables instead. Just be sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • You can use any type of pasta that you like for this recipe. Some good options include penne, rotini, and fusilli.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just be aware that the sauce will be thinner.
  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use another hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
  • To make the recipe vegetarian, omit the chicken or use tofu instead.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less vegetables, or you can use different types of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Gnocchi primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with fresh vegetables and has a creamy, flavorful sauce. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
