This recipe is perfect when you want something easy, and not a lot of cleanup.
Gnocchi is one of my all time favorite pastas. If I had to choose only one pasta to have for the rest of my life, it would be gnocchi. 100%.
The best is when gnocchi are roasted or fried, so they have a delicious crispiness on the outside. I call them potato pillows!
Unfortunately, as we all know (but don’t want to believe) that pasta is not the best for you. In moderation, its fine…just like anything else. Right?
Thats why I decided to spice up this dish (not literally) and add some fresh veggies. That way its not just a bunch of empty carbs.
How awesome is that? Look at all of those beautiful colors!
If you read my recipe post for caprese chicken, you know how strong my love for roasted garlic and tomatoes is. This recipe has fresh garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are perfect for roasting. They are so sweet and tangy.
A mixture of bell peppers, red onion, fresh garlic, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil and some salt is all you need.
Oh yeah…cant forget the gnocchi! I buy mine frozen. It doesn’t matter what type you use.
When this was roasting in the oven, I closed my eyes and made believe that I was in a fancy Italian bistro and my imagination took me there. Thats how good this meal will smell.
Enjoy!!!
