This easy one-pot gnocchi recipe is the perfect way to enjoy fresh summer vegetables in a quick, comforting dinner. Instead of boiling, the gnocchi is pan-fried until golden and crisp, then tossed with juicy burst cherry tomatoes, tender zucchini, and sweet-yet-bitter green bell pepper. 

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes
  • 1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (basil, mint, parsley, dill)
  • Crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place gnocchi in a single layer in a cold nonstick skillet with olive oil. Cook over medium-high without stirring until golden, 5–8 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté onion until softened (3 minutes). Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst. Press down gently on any whole tomatoes.
  4. Simmer uncovered for 1–2 minutes to thicken.
  5. Return gnocchi to the skillet, toss to coat, and remove from heat. Top with herbs and feta, if desired.
