Grilled gnocchi is an unexpected hit. The dumplings pick up robust charred notes and crisp wonderfully in a grill pan. We’ve paired them with grilled vegetables and pesto thinned and brightened with a touch of vinegar. We love frozen cauliflower gnocchi but don’t suggest it here as it will get too soft.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Asparagus

1 pound(s), thick, trimmed

Red onion

2 slice(s), thick, 1/2 inch thick

Orange bell pepper

1 medium, cut into large pieces

Cherry tomatoes

1½ cup(s)

Potato gnocchi

1 pound(s), vacuum-packed

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Reduced-fat pesto sauce

2 Tbsp

Red wine vinegar

2 tsp

Kosher salt

½ tsp

Instructions

  1. Off heat, coat grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat pan over high on stovetop or gas grill. Lightly coat asparagus, onion, and bell pepper with nonstick spray. Grill vegetables until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer vegetables to cutting board. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Transfer vegetables to large bowl.
  2. In medium bowl, coat tomatoes with nonstick spray and toss to coat. Transfer tomatoes to pan and cook, turning occasionally, until tomatoes are lightly charred, about 2 minutes. (Try not to cook tomatoes for so long that skins burst.) Add tomatoes to vegetables in bowl.
  3. In medium bowl, toss gnocchi with oil. Transfer gnocchi to pan and cook until gnocchi are charred and marked from grill, about 4 minutes per side. Add gnocchi to vegetables. In small bowl, stir pesto, vinegar, and salt. Drizzle pesto over gnocchi and vegetables and toss gently to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  4. Serving size: about 1½ cups
