Browned Butter Gnocchi with Broccoli and Nuts
Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr
Kids like the chewy gnocchi, sweet broccoli, and crunchy nuts. Look for shelf-stable packaged gnocchi with the dried pasta. To cut costs, swap in chopped almonds or pecans for pine nuts. Spinach, cauliflower florets, or green beans would also work nicely here. If you use spinach, simply stir it in when you add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook gnocchi in a large Dutch oven according to package directions. Add broccoli during last minute of cooking; cook 1 minute. Drain.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and oil; cook 7 minutes or until butter browns. Add gnocchi mixture and pepper to pan; toss to coat. Spoon about 1 1/2 cups gnocchi mixture into each of 6 shallow bowls. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons pine nuts and about 2 teaspoons cheese.

My entire family loves this recipe. I do buy my gnocchi from an Italian grocer and like to use gnocchi with mushrooms. Also I add some cooked and crumbled bacon. Yum!

I also added 2 tsp garlic and jarred artichoke hearts. I also halved the amount of gnocchi (only used 1 package). Despite the additions, the dish was still very bland. I would not make it again.

Based on suggestions by previous reviewers, I added garlic and cannellini beans. My whole family enjoyed it and it proved to be a quick vegetarian meal for a busy school night.

This is one of my go to recipes. I'm a Personal Chef and cook weekly meals for people and everyone loves this recipe! I like to have the gnocchi done and ready to throw into the browned butter as soon as it's the perfect color. For a complete meatless meal I add Cannellini beans and pesto.
