One of the things I like about our little local grocery store, Barons, is that they have a display of food samples out most times that I visit. One of yesterday's samples was Gnocchi with Onions and Peas. I had a taste and it was delicious so I decided to buy the ingredients and make it for dinner tonight. As you can see from the picture it turned out beautifully with white gnocchi, green peas and red sun dried tomatoes. My husband LOVED it!
Here's the recipe which serves 4. Bon Appetite!
Gnocchi with Carmelized Onions, Pancetta and Peas
Ingredients
1 medium onion sliced thinly
3/4 cup diced pancetta
about 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
about 1 Tbsp. butter
1 pkg. gnocchi
1 tsp salt
5-6 turns of black pepper
1 pkg. frozen parmesan peas
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil) cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet on medium high until glossy. Add onions and pancetta. Continue cooking about 20-25 minutes until the onions are caramelized.
About 1/2 way through the cooking time add salt, pepper and sun-dried tomatoes.
In the meanwhile cook the gnocchi in boiling water as directed on the package.
When onion mixture is caramelized add the package of peas and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until peas are warmed through.
When gnocchi is finished drain and add to onion mixture. Stir until the gnocchi are coated and all of the flavors are combined.
Serve and enjoy.
