A quick, easy and yummy garlic vegetable gnocchi recipe for you today that’s packed with green veg.
I really don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen during the working week – we wouldn’t eat til midnight! – so this meal is designed with minimal preparation and a lightning fast cooking time in mind.
Here’s what to do to make this garlic vegetable gnocchi – feeds four.
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots thinly sliced
- 2 medium courgette thinly sliced
- 1 bunch asparagus cut into 1cm pieces
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 500 g (1.1 lb) gnocchi
- 50 g (1.76 oz) salted butter
- 50 g (1.76 oz) parmesan cheese or a similar veggie alternative, grated
Instructions
- Put the olive oil, carrots, courgette, asparagus and garlic into a large frying pan and fry over a medium heat for just a few minutes until beginning to soften, then turn the heat down to low
- Put the gnocchi into boiling, salted water and cook for 2 minutes
- Drain the gnocchi and stir into the veg with the butter and the black pepper
- When the butter has melted, it’s ready – the veg should have a little bit of bite
