Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter

  • 1 ½ teaspoons lemon-infused olive oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons herb-infused olive oil

  • 1 (12 ounce) package refrigerated gnocchi

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 shallot, minced

  • 2 cups small broccoli florets

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1 cup julienned carrots

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • 1 small zucchini, sliced diagonally

  • 1 small yellow squash, sliced diagonally

  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¾ cup halved grape tomatoes

  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat butter and infused olive oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add gnocchi and stir frequently until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and shallot; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Add broccoli, peas, carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and squash; lightly saute until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly pour in broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Slowly add cream and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; mix to incorporate. Add remaining lemon juice and heat until warmed through and Parmesan is melted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Garnish each serving with tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan.

Cooks' Note:

If you can't find infused olive oil, use regular olive oil.
