I asked my faithful Facebook fans the other night whether or not they wanted to hear about a killer Philly cheesesteak recipe or a killer skillet gnocchi recipe next. It was a close call, but skillet gnocchi won. So, let’s do this.
The thing I love most about this recipe is how incredibly versatile it is. Don’t love red peppers? Skip ’em! Add zucchini or eggplant instead. Love mushrooms? Double up! Need some protein in your life? Add some crumbled italian sausage. Swirl in some pesto at the end. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes (or more, if you’re like me). The opportunities are endless to put your own twist on it.
What are you waiting for? Make it this weekend!

I heart sun dried tomatoes and pesto in anything so this would be a hit!
Do you think I should serve them with sparkly potatoes? 😉

Thank you so much for this tasty recipe- my husband and I loved it and our guest (my mom) pleaded for the recipe afterwards. I try to limit carbs, so before adding the gnocchi, I put the veggies on top of spaghetti squash. Fabulous both ways!
Yea!! I’m so glad it was a hit all around!
