Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
For this recipe, Gnocchi with Tomatoes and Peppers, I am choosing to use fresh cherry tomatoes. I am using these because I have an abundance of cherry tomatoes from the garden and I just love their sweet flavor. You could use fresh grape tomatoes, fresh plum tomatoes, or canned diced tomatoes as well. I have used many different types and styles of tomatoes for this recipe and they all work. For a completely different experience try sun dried tomatoes.
I am using green bell pepper for this recipe. I like the contrast in color with the red tomatoes. However, you can use which ever color of bell pepper you like. I would even try red roasted peppers, or spicier peppers like jalapenos.
This recipe is called gnocchi with tomatoes and peppers, but feel free to add whatever you like to the dish. Try some other vegetables like asparagus, artichokes, or green beans. Or maybe some protein, like grilled chicken or sautéed shrimp.
