Gnocchi with Bell Pepper Marinara
with lemony asparagus
Give this simple, vegetable-filled marinara a few extra minutes to simmer and develop flavor on the stovetop while preparing gnocchi (potato dumplings) to serve with it. A quick asparagus saute on the side makes this a classic Italian meal that comes together fast.

Make
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add oil (portion for the gnocchi) and then onions and bell peppers. Saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more. Pour tomato sauce over top and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to keep sauce on a low simmer and continue cooking for 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- While the sauce simmers, cook gnocchi according to package instructions.
- Next, heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Toast pine nuts for 3 to 4 minutes, until fragrant. Set aside.
- Return pan to medium-high heat and add oil. Add asparagus and saute for 4 to 8 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season with some salt and transfer to a serving dish. Top with lemon juice and pine nuts.
- Taste sauce and season with some salt and pepper.
- Serve sauce over gnocchi with asparagus on the side. Top everything with grated cheese if you’d like. Enjoy!
