Back in the kitchen tonight, but for something pretty simple that's very similar to what we've already posted about several times. We do this a little differently each time, but today I found some decent organic cherry tomatoes on sale at the grocery store so I thought that would make a nice addition. I sauteed some chopped broccoli in olive oil with a little salt til it was getting soft, then added 3 cloves of thinly sliced garlic and cooked another minute, then added about 1/4 cup of vegetable broth, 1/2 tsp. dried basil, a handful of cherry tomatoes (halved) and a package of gnocchi (and a little more salt and some fresh ground pepper). I mixed that up well, then reduced the heat, covered and simmered for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi were soft. When we served it, it was topped with a few fresh cherry tomatoes. Oh, and we started with a salad with a nice lettuce mix, more cherry tomatoes, some chickpeas and the cider vinaigrette from Vive le Vegan (I do like Dreena's salad dressing recipes.)

That looks great! What kind of gnocchi are those?
Ummm... I'm not sure of the brand. We get 'em at Trader Joe's, but I've seen them other places - usually with the pasta.
you guys are the gnocchi champions.
What a great looking dish! I love all the colors and am imagining the textures. Ohhhh, now I'm hungry...and no one e-mailed me a cookie, sigh....
yes we are jess...
And how cool would it be to send a cookie as an e-mail attachment. Maybe Google is working on it...
I like gnocchi but prepare it rarely. What are your favorite brands of packaged gnocchi? I invariably see "natural flavors" in the ingredients and rarely know for sure before having to do more research whether the gnocchi is vegan. Thanks!
