Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of salted butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of lemon-infused olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of herb-infused olive oil
  • 1 (12 ounce) package of refrigerated gnocchi
  • 3 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 minced shallot for added flavor
  • 2 cups of small and vibrant broccoli florets
  • A generous portion of 1 cup of frozen peas
  • 1 cup of finely julienned carrots
  • ½ cup of chopped red bell pepper for color
  • 1 small zucchini and 1 small yellow squash, both sliced diagonally
  • A flavorful addition of 1 cup of vegetable broth
  • 1 ½ tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup of rich heavy cream for a creamy texture
  • ½ cup of finely shredded Parmesan cheese for a cheesy touch
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup of halved grape tomatoes for a burst of freshness
  • ⅛ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice

Step 1

Melt a mixture of butter and fragrant olive oils in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is completely melted. Toss in the gnocchi and give it a frequent stir until it turns a delightful golden color, which usually takes around 3 minutes. Next, introduce the garlic and shallot into the mix, cooking and stirring until their aroma fills the air, usually lasting about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2

Now comes the colorful medley of broccoli, peas, carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and squash. Give them a quick sauté until they reach a tender state, which should be around 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually pour in the broth and a splash of lemon juice, allowing everything to heat through for approximately 5 minutes. Slowly incorporate the cream and a generous portion of Parmesan cheese, stirring until everything melds together perfectly. Finish by adding the rest of the lemon juice and heating until everything is warmed through, with the Parmesan cheese beautifully melted, which usually takes about 3 minutes. Remember to season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

For the finishing touches, adorn each portion with slices of juicy tomatoes, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat, and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan for that irresistible cheesy goodness.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your gnocchi fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will prevent them from absorbing any unwanted flavors.
  2. 2. Make sure to store your lemon cream sauce in a separate container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from getting watered down.
