This simple recipe holds a special place in my heart. While it's not flashy or particularly original, the first time I made it was without the aid of an online recipe. I looked at the ingredients I had on hand and created it all on my own. This recipe is perfect for weekdays, as it comes together quickly. It's also highly versatile. You can swap out the gnocchi for pasta, add some chicken or mushrooms, and pair it with a variety of vegetables and even add some parmesan on top.
