Gnocchi Skillet

Summer meals really are some of the best.

Ok, so I usually enjoy any seasonal meal, but summer meals that require just a few steps (without the oven) and are full of freshness are extra special.

We’ve already eaten two of our nightly meals this week based around the beautiful summer tomato.

Like my husband said, “I feel sorry for people who have only tasted Walmart tomatoes.”

There may be no other vegetable that’s so different in its fresh state from its grocery store state.

Get out to your local farmers market (or your backyard) and get some cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes or heirlooms in an interesting color or shape because you’re going to want to make this Gnocchi Skillet.

It will be ready in about 30 minutes, and it will be a flavorful, fresh summer meal (thanks to the tomatoes and basil).

And, look alive people, this recipe actually has meat in it. We’re using some garlic chicken sausage in this case for protein and flavor, and I’ve heard that some people like eating meat.

I can’t wait to try this recipe with pesto sometime soon…because gnocchi and pesto is a fabulous combination (in case you didn’t know).

Cheers to easy summer meals!
