Nothing better for a meatless dinner than a sauté of gnocchi and cherry tomatoes, with arugula and basil and Parmesan. A very simple and healthy recipe based on fresh ingredients and with a lot of flavor, it is a preparation that is also economical and takes a few steps.
Although supermarket gnocchis can be a bit rubbery and soggy if you boil them, cooked in the pan sure surprise at home. In this way, we achieve that they have a toasted and crispy surfacekeeping the tender inside (and intact). An exquisite dish for the whole family. For this recipe, you can opt for homemade gnocchi or ones that are of good quality, ideally from an Italian house.
The ingredient list is simple: gnocchi, arugula, cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese. This base is flavored with cloves of garlic and onion, basil, salt and black pepper. The pinch of lemon juice before serving adds just the right acidity and together with a few tablespoons of olive oil, achieves a perfect dressing.

To the time to serve, finish with some washed and dried fresh basil leaves. On top, a good amount of Parmesan cheese flakes. You can buy these ready-made, but it is better if you take a piece of fresh cheese and, with the help of a potato peeler or specific cheese cutter, you cut some good, long and not very thick strips. Other dairy alternatives that are wonderful are pecorino, ricotta or goat cheese. And finally, a generous spoonful of raw olive oil makes a vegetarian plate to share with family and friends without meat in sight.
