2. Cooking Directions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add shallots and zucchini and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes, salt, nutmeg and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the tomatoes are just starting to break down, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and parsley. Add gnocchi and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings

YUM!!!
cmccabe_us - April 16, 2007 08:53:42 AM PSTI added fresh chopped basil instead of the parsley and added cooked chicken. I also think fresh dill would also be good. Even my daughter who HATES zuchinni, liked it.

I LOVE GNOCCI!
ronmaestri - April 11, 2007 10:41:47 AM PSTBack when my Italian grandmother rolled homemade gnoccis on the giant cutting board strewn across her bed, I have been a HUGE fan of gnocci. Although I haven't tried this recipe yet, I can tell you just from the photo alone and the incredible ease of preparation, I am already living vicariously through it.
