  6. 1 shallot, minced
  7. 2 cups small broccoli florets
  8. 1 cup frozen peas
  9. 1 cup julienned carrots
  10. ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
  11. 1 small zucchini, sliced diagonally
  12. 1 small yellow squash, sliced diagonally
  13. 1 cup vegetable broth

  18. ¾ cup halved grape tomatoes
  19. ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and infused olive oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add gnocchi and stir frequently until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and shallot; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Add broccoli, peas, carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and squash; lightly saute until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly pour in broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Slowly add cream and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; mix to incorporate. Add remaining lemon juice and heat until warmed through and Parmesan is melted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Garnish each serving with tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan.
  4. If you can’t find infused olive oil, use regular olive oil.

Unless you have 20″ skillet, which I do not I found my wok to be the best for this recipe.

Hard to saute that many vegetables in the skillet, but it was quite good.
