Ingredients

    1 pound fresh or frozen gnocchi
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 medium shallots, chopped
    1 pound zucchini, (about 3 small), very thinly sliced lengthwise (use peeler)
    1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    Freshly ground pepper, to taste
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Tips

I add fresh mushrooms, but it does make it a bit watery.


Directions

1.Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float, 3 to 5 minutes or according to package directions. Drain.
2.Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add shallots and zucchini and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, nutmeg and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the tomatoes are just starting to break down, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and parsley. Add the gnocchi and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
