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 a 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.

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using ground pork, break up until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Add to gnocchi as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Garlic Butter

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

    Halve roll lengthwise.

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Mince garlic.

    Combine garlic and softened plain butter in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Garlic Bread

    Spread garlic butter on cut-side of roll halves. Place on prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.

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

    While garlic bread toasts, 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.

    Add gnocchi to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender and golden brown, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer gnocchi to towel-lined plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pan used to cook gnocchi to medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, bell peppers, and shallots to hot pan. Stir occasionally until shallots are softened, 3-5 minutes.

    Stir in 1/3 cup water, mirepoix base, herb butter (to taste), softened cream cheese, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a simmer.

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

    Gently stir in gnocchi until coated. If too dry, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
