Loaded with fresh vegetables and topped with Pecorino Romano Cheese, this gnocchi dish makes a refreshingly delicious quick and easy weeknight meal. Asparagus, Vidalia onions, and tomatoes mixed with garlic are the perfect combination in this Italian-inspired dish. Use any variety of sweet onion for this recipe. Try Vidalias from Georgia, 1015s (named for the date they are planted, which is October 15) from Texas, or Oso Sweets from South America. Serve this as a one-dish meal or with chicken or steak.

Ingredients

Whole wheat potato gnocchi

16 oz, (1 package) refrigerated or shelf-stable

  3. Add gnocchi, asparagus, and peas to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly and adding reserved cooking water as needed to moisten, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in basil. Divide evenly among 4 bowls and sprinkle evenly with pecorino.
