SHEET-PAN GNOCCHI WITH ASPARAGUS, LEEKS AND PEAS



Sheet-Pan Gnocchi With Asparagus, Leeks and Peas image

This sunny dinner cooks entirely in the oven on two sheet pans, so both the vegetables and gnocchi are cooked properly with minimal effort. Asparagus, shallots, leeks and peas balance out the rich, caramelized gnocchi, but you could experiment with your vegetable choices: Cut delicate vegetables in larger pieces and firmer vegetables in smaller pieces so they cook at similar rates. Refrigerated gnocchi (often labeled "skillet gnocchi") work best here, but shelf-stable gnocchi are also fine. Simply boil them first.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (12-ounce) packages gnocchi (preferably fresh, refrigerated, precooked gnocchi)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into thirds
2 small leeks, trimmed, halved lengthwise, then sliced 1/2-inch thick (about 2 cups)
2 shallots, trimmed and sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch thick
1 cup frozen peas, thawed (or fresh peas)
1 lemon, scrubbed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup sliced fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss gnocchi with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • On another rimmed baking sheet, toss asparagus, leeks and shallots with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few generous grinds of pepper.
  • Put both pans in the oven, with the gnocchi on the bottom rack and the vegetables above. Stir the gnocchi and vegetables after 5 minutes to distribute the butter. Stir the vegetables once or twice more, but leave the gnocchi undisturbed. Roast until vegetables are golden and getting crispy on the edges, about 15 minutes total, and the gnocchi are golden brown on one side, 20 to 25 minutes total. Stir the peas into the vegetables in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Combine the gnocchi and vegetables on one tray, then grate the lemon zest over the top. Sprinkle with half the Parmesan and chives, if using, saving some for serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and chives, and serve immediately.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Gnocchi:
4 cups ricotta (from two 16-ounces containers)
2 large eggs
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetables and assembly:
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more
1/4 pound fresh morel mushrooms
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 cup shelled fresh peas (from about 1 pound pods) or frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh chives, finely grated Parmesan, and finely grated lemon zest (for serving)
Parmesan
Finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • For gnocchi:
  • Line a baking dish with 3 layers of paper towels; spoon ricotta onto paper towels and let sit 20 minutes (if the ricotta is too wet, the dough won't hold together).
  • Combine ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, and salt in a food processor; season with pepper and process until smooth. Add flour and pulse just to combine (mixture should be smooth and fairly wet). Transfer gnocchi mixture to a pastry bag fitted with 1/2" round tip or a large resealable plastic bag.
  • DO AHEAD: Gnocchi mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pastry tip and chill.
  • For vegetables and assembly:
  • Cook asparagus in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green and crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Using tongs or a mesh strainer, transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool; drain. Slice asparagus on the diagonal into bite-size pieces, leaving tips intact.
  • Reduce heat so water is simmering. If using a resealable plastic bag for gnocchi mixture, cut a 1/2" opening in bottom of bag. Working in 3 batches, pipe dough into pot, cutting off 1" lengths with a paring knife and letting dough drop into water. Cook until doubled in size, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a lightly oiled baking sheet. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook morels, tossing occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add shallot and cook, tossing occasionally, until shallot and morels are soft, about 5 minutes; set aside.
  • Add gnocchi, asparagus, peas, butter, and reserved cooking liquid to skillet with morels. Cook, tossing gently, until vegetables are warm and sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with chives, Parmesan, and lemon zest.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (17.5-ounce) package potato gnocchi (the shelf-stable kind found by the dried pasta)
1 orange bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 yellow bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 small red onion (cut into eighths)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Sausage of choice (see options below)
4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (divided)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (divided)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided, plus more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided, plus more to taste)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
2 Field Roast Italian sausages
2 sausage of your choice (we use Applegate chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds)
Parmesan cheese for topping (optional - skip or use vegan parm for vegan version)
Parsley or other fresh chopped herbs
Drizzle of olive oil
Two large rimmed baking sheets

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Set out two large baking sheets. Divide the gnocchi, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes evenly between the two sheets. Add the veggie sausage to one side and the meaty sausage to the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil each. Over each side, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss until gnocchi, sausage, and veggies are evenly coated and the spices and oil distributed. Spread out in a single layer on the cookie sheets to help ensure even roasting and lots of golden browned bits.
  • Place in oven. Bake until gnocchi and veggies are beginning to take on some color, 15-20 minutes. Remove, stir, and redistribute in an even layer, and cook until there are more golden bits, the sausage is sizzling, and the veggies are tender, 5-10 more minutes.
  • Remove from oven and garnish with parsley and any other fresh herbs if desired.

SHEET-PAN GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH



Sheet-Pan Gnocchi With Mushrooms and Spinach image

This sheet-pan dinner is inspired by classic steakhouse sides: roasted mushrooms, creamy horseradish-mustard sauce, wilted spinach and roasted potatoes. Well, kind of. Instead of whole potatoes, this recipe uses store-bought gnocchi, a superspeedy stand-in that takes on the fun combination of browned and chewy when roasted. This dish is hearty enough to be a full meal, though it'd also make a great side to braised beans, roast chicken, a seared pork chop and, of course, steak.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, maitake or cremini, trimmed and quartered (or cut into 1-inch pieces, if large)
1 (12- to 18-ounce) package shelf-stable or refrigerated potato gnocchi
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
4 scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss together the mushrooms, gnocchi, 5 tablespoons olive oil, scallions and shallot. Season with salt and pepper, shake into an even layer, and roast without stirring until the gnocchi and mushrooms are golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the spinach and remaining tablespoon of oil, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Spread in an even layer, then return to the oven to roast until the spinach is tender, another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the mustard, horseradish and honey until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the butter and half the sauce to the sheet pan, and stir until melted and glazy. Eat with the remaining sauce on the side.

GNOCCHI WITH ASPARAGUS & OLIVES IN A CREAMY PESTO SAUCE



Gnocchi With Asparagus & Olives in a Creamy Pesto Sauce image

This honestly is so easy to make and such a nice dish. This is good enough to serve to company. Other than the asparagus and onion that you will need to cut, the rest is all pantry or store bought items. The creamy ricotta and bread crumbs added to the soft gnocchi makes for a perfect dish. Many grocery stores carry fresh and frozen varieties, as all of mine do. Whole Foods, Sams Club, Trader Joes, for those in the US carry them and of course most Italian Markets. They are a nice change from the traditional pasta shapes. I happen to love asparagus in this, but I have also used peas or green beans too. For the pesto, by all means make your own, but a good store brand makes this quick and easy.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb gnocchi (refrigerated or frozen)
1/2 lb asparagus, cut in 1/2-inch pieces on an angle (approximately 2 cups, green beans or peas make a great substitute)
1 medium onion, cut in half and thin sliced (use less onion if you want)
1/2-3/4 cup black olives, cut in half (buy a can of pre cut olives and save yourself some time)
1/2 lemon, zest of, use the other half thin sliced as a garnish if you want
salt (go easy with the salt as the pesto and olives are both salty)
pepper
1 cup pesto sauce (I used a basil pesto)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 1/2-2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bread Crumb Topping -- Make this first and then just set it off to the side. In a small dry saute pan, add the breadcrumbs and bring to medium high heat. You just want to toast them and they don't take long so keep an eye on them. Make sure to keep stirring them. You could easily make your own bread crumbs for this, but I used store bought Italian seasoned bread crumbs which saved some time. Once the bread crumbs are toasted and golden brown, transfer to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil and parmesan cheese.
  • Vegetables -- In a large pot of salted boiling water (on a medium boil), add the asparagus and cook until tender. About 3-5 minutes. It depends on how thick your asparagus is. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water to set the color and to stop the cooking. It just needs a minute in the water, then transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to dry.
  • Gnocchi -- Cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Drain well and return to the pot (keep the heat on medium / medium low.
  • Finish -- Add the cream, pesto, olives, and onions to the gnocchi and cook another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Check for seasoning and add any additional salt or pepper if needed. Then add in the asparagus, lemon zest and toss lightly.
  • Serve -- Transfer to a serving platter and top with the toasted bread crumbs and a scoop of the ricotta cheese. Garnish with the lemon slices from the half of lemon you did not zest. ENJOY!
  • Add a fresh cucumber and tomato salad for a nice simple side dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gnocchi: Look for gnocchi that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Avoid gnocchi that is made with preservatives or artificial flavors.
  • Cook the gnocchi properly: Gnocchi should be cooked in boiling water until it floats to the top. Do not overcook the gnocchi, or it will become mushy.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, use vegetables that are in season.
  • Season your dish well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for any dish. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the gnocchi and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the gnocchi from cooking evenly and the vegetables from getting soggy.
  • Serve immediately: Gnocchi is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the gnocchi from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Sheet pan gnocchi with asparagus, leeks, and peas is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. This dish is perfect for using up leftover vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying sheet pan gnocchi that the whole family will enjoy.
