The recipe we made tonight was a spur of the moment creation that turned into a masterpiece! With very little food and a great desire to refrain from shopping, Malissa and I desperately looked through our cupboards for something to eat. After finding a box of potato gnocchi, we devised a plan. Who would have guessed that ten minutes later, we would have created one of our new favorite dishes! This meal is delicious, reminding us of pizza in a bowl (except this is healthy). To top things off, the total cook time is only 6-8 minutes.
Savory Tomato Gnocchi
1 pound (450g) potato gnocchi
1 Green pepper, chopped
4 Tomatoes, Chopped
1/2 Cup Olives, sliced
4 Tablespoons Olive juice (from the can of olives)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 2 Tablespoons dried)
Cook Gnocchi in boiling water 4-5 minutes or until the Gnocchi floats to the top when stirred. Rinse and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add peppers, saute one minute. Add tomatoes, saute 1-2 minutes more. Add the gnocchi and all remaining ingredients into saucepan and saute for 1-2 minutes. Easy enough!
