Gnocchi With Zucchini Ribbons & Basil Brown Butter

"This recipe is an easy and delicious way to dress up pre-made gnocchi. It is a light and flavourful and the zucchini ribbons make for a beautiful presentation. It also works really well with a flat pasta, like linguine. (Small shells would probably work too.) It is modified from a recipe from "EatingWell Magazine"."

directions

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • 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 cherry 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 gnocchi and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

  1. One of the best vegetarian meals I've made! This is something very different...tasty, colorful and beautiful. This is so good, in fact, that two to three hungry people could eat the whole thing. This is a recipe that could turn zucchini haters into believers.
     
  2. Oh my goodness, this is good stuff! I used my mandoline to get beautifully thinly slice zucchini. Used basil from my garden and next time might try it with both the basil and parsley :) So delicious and great flavor (especially from the nutmeg). A great vegetarian meal!!
