This is what we had for dinner Tuesday night:
gnocchi - purchased from Harris Teeter, because I was already late leaving work and wanted dinner before 9pm!
Sauce and stuff:
Smart Dogs italian-style "sausage"
1/2 Vidalia onion
two small heads broccoli, separated into small florettes
8 oz sliced baby portabella mushrooms
1 15-oz can tomato sauce
Italian seasoning, toasted garlic and red pepper flakes to taste
Pan fry the "sausage" according to pkg instructions, and on a separate burner, start a pot of water to boil. Take the sausage out and cut into bite size pieces, set aside. Saute the vegetables in a small amt of olive oil (or grapeseed oil if you prefer). Once the vegetables are crisp-tender, pour the can of tomato sauce over, reduce the heat to warm, and add spices according to your tastes. Boil the gnocchi for the required time according to pkg instructions (mine said 10 min), drain. Remove the veggie sauce from the heat completely and stir in the sausage, pour over gnocchi and serve with wholegrain Italian bread and a tossed salad. Yum! Time from front door to table - 30 minutes.
