It looked amazing. I HAD to make it and it was soooooo good. I am submitting the recipe as he wrote it, but I made a few changes. First, I doubled it into a 9x13 pan which I sprayed instead of buttering. I didn't double the olive oil. I used petite diced tomatoes and let them cook down a bit. I cubed raw chicken breast and sauteed it with a bit of onion and garlic and added it with the gnocchi as written. I used regular mozzarella instead of smoked. Just little changes that really didn't change the recipe. Enjoy. It is delicious. Ingredients:
butter, for baking dish |
1 (12 ounce) package potato gnocchi |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
4 tablespoons minced garlic |

1 tablespoon cracked black pepper |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves |
