Add some color to your dinner table with this gnocchi dish filled with the fresh flavors of broccoli and roasted red peppers. For an extra kick, we added in a red hot chili pepper. If you want a little less heat, you can remove the seeds from the chili pepper before cutting. Just be careful when you are handling the chili pepper. It contains oils that can burn your skin, and you want to be certain not to rub your eyes when cooking with them. As a general rule, the smaller the chili pepper, the stronger the heat.
