Super easy recipe for gnocchi with peas. Give it a twist with pancetta and parmesan and you’ll have a quick dinner for two ready in 20 minutes.
I love gnocchi, they make a perfect side dish for any kind of creamy sauce. So I was super excited to try it when I found this recipe. Because I love simple and easy to make lunch/dinners (lunch is the main meal of the day in Croatia). Although, the fact is I love to cook and the kitchen is my favorite room in a house, there are days I just don’t want to stand by the stove for hours – then this kind of recipes come in handy. With just a few simple ingredients it had incredible flavor and richness.
