• 16 ounces gnocchi (package)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• juice of half a lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cook the gnocchi according the instructions on the package. Once the gnocchi is done cooking, drain it.

2. 2

   cook: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the gnocchi to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the peas into the pan.
