Ingredients
Scale
- 1 12 oz. package skillet gnocchi (I used Rana)
- 1 medium zucchini, washed and quartered
- 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 – 2/3 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved
- Olive oil (or butter)
- Balsamic glaze
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Cook gnocchi according to package instructions
- Once gnocchi is cooked, remove and set aside. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the same pan (no need to wipe it out!) followed by zucchini and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt & pepper and sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just tender (about 4-5 minutes)
- Add gnocchi back into the pan, give it one last toss over the heat (for about 30 seconds) then pour everything into a large serving bowl, top with fresh mozzarella, more salt & pepper as desired, a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze and fresh chopped basil
