Zucchini Gnocchi
You may be familiar with my cauliflower gnocchi, which inspired this new version. Since zucchini is in season, I played around with this recipe and loved how it turned out. I prefer to cook it in a skillet rather than boiling it, like potato gnocchi, for the best results.

Zucchini Gnocchi Ingredients
Zucchini: Grate three pounds of zucchini with the large holes of a box grater. Flour: You can use all-purpose or gluten-free flour. Cheese: I used Pecorino Romano, but parmesan would also work. Mix some cheese into the gnocchi dough and save some to sprinkle on top if you’d like. Salt to season Gnocchi Sauce: Serve the zucchini gnocchi with marinara sauce. Buy your favorite brand or make homemade marinara. You could also top them with vodka sauce or pesto if you prefer. Herbs: Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
