This pumpkin tomato gnocchi is seriously that simple. Cut some veggies, throw it all in the pan and you’re done! This kind of cooking is my favourite for post-work – it’s relatively healthy but super quick. Plus, all of one pan to clean up afterwards. Hard to beat that!
I definitely recommend using canned cherry tomatoes, rather than diced, if you can – they just have more structure which is useful for a dish like this. One of the things I particularly love about this pumpkin tomato gnocchi is so many of the ingredients are pantry staples. It’s an excellent one for later in the week when inspiration, time and fresh veggies might be sparse!
