Course: Pasta & Noodles
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 4
- 1 pound shelf-stable gnocchi
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 ears corn, kernels sliced off
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
- 1/3 cup basil pesto
- 1 tablespoon minced chives
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
On the prepared sheet pan, toss the gnocchi, tomatoes and corn with olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Spread everything into a single layer.
Roast for 23-25 minutes until the gnocchi and corn are lightly golden and the tomatoes are wrinkled but still juicy.
Scatter the mozzarella over the gnocchi and veggies. Roast for another 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
On the sheet pan, spoon the pesto over the gnocchi, tomatoes and corn. Sprinkle with chives and gently stir everything together.
You can save leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Warm them in the microwave or in a 350-degree F oven.
You can also eat leftovers cold in a salad with favorite greens and vinaigrette. I recommend roughly chopping the gnocchi if you are planning to eat it this way.
