Sometime pasta just isn’t something that I tend to cook during the summer. However, I recently tried a gnocchi recipe that is coated in an easy sun-dried tomato and basil sauce. It comes together in about 15 minutes and is simple enough it will be on my summer menus for sure.
It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Basil Gnocchi dish and fresh basil is a key ingredient to give it that fresh flavor. The sun-dried tomatoes are the other key ingredient that gives this sauce there amazing flavor.
The pasta used for this is gnocchi with is often found in that famous chicken and gnocchi soup from Olive Garden. It was a nice change from just regular old pasta noodles, but could be easily switched out if you have super picky eaters at your home for something else.
