Lazy Sunday

So today I perfected the ultimate lazy Sunday complete with doing laundry and looking at food blog after food blog after food blog....

I finally came across this recipe that I have not tried yet, but intend to in the near future. It's a super cheap recipe that only takes 20 mins! (In college time, that's amazing) So here it goes!





Gnocchi with Zucchini Ribbons and Parsley Brown Butter

Prep Time: 20 mins
Serves: 2-4


  • 1 pound (about 1 bag) frozen gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • About 3 small zucchini (shred on the biggest grate on a cheese grater)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

    1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float, which is usually 3 to 5 minutes or according to package directions. Drain.
    2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter begins to look brown, which should be about 2 minutes. 
    3. Add onion and zucchini and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. 
    4. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the tomatoes are just starting to break down, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the parmesan and parsley. 
    5. Add the gnocchi and toss around the gnocchi to mixture, mix it all up and ENJOY.

    Veg On.
