Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen gnocchi

  • 1 pound zucchini, sliced thinly

  • 2 medium shallots, chopped

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Bring some water to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook the gnocchi until they float, about 3-5 minutes.

  • In another large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until brown, about 2 minutes. Add the shallots and zucchini and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue cooking until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 1-2 minutes.

  • Stir in the parsley and Parmesan cheese. Add the gnocchi and toss to coat.
