Ingredients
  

1 lb potato gnocchi

2 large red bell peppers, roasted and skins removed

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust based on your spice preference)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for 25-30 minutes, turning them occasionally until the skin is charred and blistered. After roasting, cover the peppers with aluminum foil to steam for 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers into bite-sized chunks.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set the sauce aside for later use.

      Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook them according to package instructions. They are done when they float to the top, typically taking about 2-3 minutes. Drain gently and set aside.

        Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute, just until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, as burnt garlic can become bitter.

          Combine Everything: Pour the smooth roasted red pepper sauce into the skillet with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is heated through. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, carefully tossing to ensure each piece is well coated in the creamy sauce. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is combined and warmed through.

            Season and Serve: Taste the dish and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your preference. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the gnocchi with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Roasted Red Pepper Gnocchi Delights!
