Instructions
 

Prep Vegetables

  • Slice Cherry Tomatoes in half and set aside.
  • Chop White Onion to small pieces and set aside.
  • Chop Asparagus to bite size pieces and toss out the tough ends at the bottom and set aside.

Prepare Gnocchi

  • Using a Pot, begin to cook Gnocchi as directed on packaging.

Meanwhile...

  • Heat a large Skillet on medium.
  • Add a little Olive Oil, 1 tablespoon of Butter, Onion Powder and Minced Garlic stirring it periodically until it starts to sizzle careful not to let Garlic burn. Should start to smell fragrant.
  • Add Sliced Cherry Tomatoes and White Onion into Skillet until Tomatoes start to soften and Onions start to turn transparent.
  • You will then add the Chopped Asparagus and continue to sauté, you want them a little tender but to still maintain a bright green coloring and a slight crunch.
  • At this point, your Gnocchi's should be done.
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop Gnocchi's directly into the Skillet stirring so that the Gnocchi's are coated with the mixture.
  • Add Heavy Cream, Asiago/Parmesan Blend and stir to incorporate. Sauce will thicken as it is heated.
  • Add fresh Spinach and continue to stir. Spinach will soften as it is cooked into the sauce.
  • Proceed with adding remaining 2 tablespoons of Butter, Salt & Pepper to taste and if you are anything like me, I like a little heat so Pepper Flakes is a must.
  • Give it a last stir, plate and top off with Scallions.
    I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
