Gnocchi Vegetable Skillet

I feel like I've been making this on and off for years now but have never posted it? I don't know. I can't actually remember.
I do know I likely started making it when we had a supply of zucchini and tomatoes from the garden, so it was likely a quick summer dinner when I thought of it.

But.

1. It's a one pan dinner.

2. It's 5 basic ingredients.

3. It takes about 30 minutes. Maybe less.  I didn't time it.

4. Absolutely perfect for a school night because meatless dishes are generally quicker...we do at least one meatless meal a week anyway. It's just so. much. easier.

5. Leftovers would be perfect to take to work as lunch the next day.



Gnocchi Vegetable Skillet
serves 4-6

1 package of potato gnocchi, uncooked (I like mini gnocchi, but it doesn't matter.)
2 cups diced grape tomatoes
1 medium zucchini, diced
1-2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced (not minced)
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
1 t. dried basil
1 t. dried oregano
Salt to taste

In a cast iron or ovenproof skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the gnocchi and allow it to brown and crisp up, about 5 minutes. Stir often so it doesn't stick to the pan or burn.
When the gnocchi is crispy and golden brown, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Heat a few more tablespoons of olive oil and add the zucchini. Sprinkle on the basil and oregano and allow the zucchini to brown. Keep the heat on medium-high so it browns and doesn't just soften.
Add the tomatoes and stir.
Make a space in the center of the pan and add the garlic, allowing the slices to brown a bit on each side.
Add the gnocchi back in and stir.
Top with cheese and broil until the top is browned.

  5. This sounds delicious. I love one-pot meals, and Sean and I could stand to go meatless now and then.
