Gnocchi? Yes chi. (We've been waiting years to make that joke.) But in all seriousness, the rich delight of gnocchi goes so well with creamy sauces, and sauces like this, with tangy roasted pepper melding with cream for true bonanza of flavor. And just in case you want to carb it up, garlic bread on the side. Some gnocchi, we say yes-cchi…. Ok, we're done for now. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, pat dry and cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using whole chicken breasts, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Italian sausage, break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using sirloin steaks, cook to minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Add to gnocchi as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Garlic Butter

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1" dice.

    Halve roll lengthwise, if necessary.

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Mince garlic.

    Combine garlic and softened plain butter in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Bake the Garlic Bread

    Spread garlic butter on cut sides of roll halves.

    Place roll halves on prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

    Bake in hot oven until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.

    While garlic bread bakes, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    Return pan used to cook gnocchi to medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, red bell pepper, and shallot to hot pan. Stir occasionally until shallot is softened, 3-5 minutes.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until thick and creamy, 1-2 minutes.
