Today marks three weeks of social distancing for us. We are trying to stay home as much as possible in this weird, temporary normal, which means my 2-3 grocery trips per week have been severely cut back – we made it 18 days before our first grocery run and we’re hoping to make it another 2-3 weeks before going back.

If you’re trying to space grocery trips, this is an ideal meal for week two. The vegetables used here hold up pretty well to a week in the fridge – and even if they start getting a little soft, you’ll never be able to tell after roasting them!

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbs. Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lb. shelf-stable potato gnocchi
• 3 cups baby bell peppers, seeded and halved
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves, for serving
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Fresh basil and fresh Parmesan make the whole meal feel fresh and bright – regardless of how fresh the veggies actually are.

It’s also a flexible recipe – if you have veggies that need to get used up, toss them in!

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• In a larger bowl, toss together the gnocchi, peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Drizzle oil over and toss to coat.
• Spread out on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
• When done, top with basil and cheese before serving.

This meal is really quick and really hands-off, which makes it awesome for busy nights!

What to serve alongside

My favorite sides for this dinner are garlic bread and a big salad! Italian Chopped Salad is always a winner here and would go really well. If you’re not a fan of garlic bread, Slow Cooker Cheesy Herb Dinner Rolls or crusty bread and olive oil would be great options too.

Want to add a little protein to the meal?  Wine and Herb Grilled Chicken and Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs pair perfectly!
