Butter Parmesan Gnocchi with Squash, Corn & Tomatoes
Butter Parmesan Gnocchi with Squash, Corn, & Tomatoes is a great quick and easy weeknight meal and is especially delicious during the summertime when produce is at it’s peak!
I can’t get enough of this Butter Parmesan Gnocchi with Squash, Corn, and Tomatoes dish. It is comforting and delicious, but also filled with lots of summer veggies and finished with fresh basil.
It’s the perfect balance of buttery, cheesy goodness and healthy vegetables. It’s become a family favorite around here, and everyone always asks for seconds! Gnocchi are like little mini dumplings. They’re made with cooked mashed potatoes mixed with flour, egg, and salt.
Gnocchi is pretty easy to make on your own, but for this recipe, I buy dried gnocchi. You can find it in the pasta aisle. And a pro tip: it’s pronounced nyow-kee.
