Description
A recipe for cooking a delicious meal with fresh seasonal vegetables, gnocchi, and some seasonings. The vegetables are sautéed in olive oil with garlic, and then combined with cooked gnocchi with an optional Parmesan garnish.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Pfund Rosenkohl (geputzt und halbiert)
- 1 Pfund Brokkoli (in mundgerechte Röschen geschnitten)
- 2 Esslöffel Olivenöl ((zum Rösten))
- 2 Zehen Knoblauch (gehackt (optional für zusätzlichen Geschmack))
- 1 Teelöffel Frischer Thymian (gehackt (optional))
- Salz (nach Geschmack)
- Schwarzer Pfeffer (nach Geschmack)
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Prepare the vegetables.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broccoli florets and continue to sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until both vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add the chopped garlic and continue to fry for another 1-2 minutes, until it is fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes), or until they float to the surface.
- Drain the gnocchi and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
- Add the drained gnocchi to the pan with the sautéed vegetables.
- Gently mix to combine everything, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce if needed.
- Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking and browning. For added flavor, you can add a splash of vegetable broth or white wine when sautéing. Avoid overcooking the gnocchi; they should be tender but not mushy. You can experiment with additional herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a different flavor profile. For a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of cream or a spoonful of ricotta just before serving.
