Ingredients

• 500 g Potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 100 g Spinach leaves, washed
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, torn
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions (about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface). Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

Step 4

Stir in the spinach leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach has wilted.

Step 5

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss with the vegetables to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
