    Fried Gnocchi and Creamy Vegetable Bowls

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    GNOCCHI! So vegetarian meal plans usually revolve around pasta, rice, soup, salad, bread, and of course fruits and veggies. But gnocchi can be a great way to break up the rut. Fried. Fried Gnocchi and Creamy Vegetable Bowls topped with green garnish

    Chop and cook your veggies. Really, you can use whatever you have on hand or whatever sounds good.

    After you prepare your basil cream sauce, the last step is frying the gnocchi. It only takes a few minutes, and you're left with little pillows of fluffy potato with a crisp, salty exterior. I just want fried gnocchi for all of the food. Give it all to me.

    But I guess some yummy veggies and creamy parmesan basil sauce will be fine too...
