Gnocchi With Summer Vegetables image

Appeared in Martha Stewart's food magazine a few months back. Love the fact that the squash retains some crunch -- and what a great use for grape tomatoes! I upped the amount of lemon juice (the original recipe called for 1/4) and would definitely go with 1/2 cup of the basil.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 lb yellow squash, quartered and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 (15 -16 ounce) package gnocchi
1/4-1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 -3 tablespoons pecorino romano cheese, grated
1 tablespoon butter
1 lemon, juice of 1/2-3/4

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions. Reserving ½ 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.
