Creamy Gnocchi With Green Beans and Asparagus
1 16 ounce package, shelf stable, potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
8 ounces green beans, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces asparagus (1/2 bunch), trim woody ends, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 medium lemon, zested, quartered
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red chili peppers, adjust according to your taste
2 tablespoons chopped, fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook stirring frequently, until the garlic is browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Next, add the shallots, season salt, and sauté until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
Next, add the green beans and asparagus, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
Reduce the heat, add heavy cream, red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese, stir to mix until cheese melts, creating a smooth and creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Next, add the cooked gnocchi, lemon zest and chopped parsley to the skillet. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi in the creamy sauce and mix in well the zest and parsley.
Garnish with the lemon wedges, Parmesan and fresh chopped parsley.
