Creamy Zucchini Gnocchi

Fresh, luscious and deliciously satisfying.

Today's cravings involve creamy elements.

I’ve been keeping a zucchini for over a week now and it was time to make something with it. You might all know my obsession with gnocchi by now: luscious and deliciously satisfying, they are super easy to make even if if you have a super busy workday - like I do today.


The gnocchi are store-bought (&super good) so I just boil them and make a quick&easy sauce. It was an impromptu meal, but this zucchini parm loaded sauce was lip smacking. What could go wrong when you combine zucchini and Parmegiano Reggiano? Agree, nothing at all. Hope you’ll enjoy this deliciousness ✨
