On my new way to staying healthy and keeping my mind focused on healthy meals this easy combination can be used as a side dish or a meal.
I'm thinking side dish today because I want more protein in my diet and less carbs but don't want to cut down on healthy vegetables so why not combine the veggies and carbs and make this a side for your chicken, turkey or fish meal. I am.
1 large head of broccoli cut in pieces, remove hard stems.
1/4 cup virgin olive oil or a little more
2 cloves minced or chopped garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 package store bought gnocchi or pasta
grated or shredded Italian cheese ( I like Pecorino Romano but today used shredded Parmesan)
In a large pot with some added salt place all broccoli in water. Cook on medium high. Bring to a boil for several minutes. Add packaged gnocchi and cook for several minutes more. Do not overcook Taste Test a piece of broccoli and a gnocchi. Drain
In the same pot you cooked the broccoli and gnocchi add olive oil and garlic. Simmer for a few minutes making sure not to burn garlic. Add broccoli and gnocchi, toss well. Place on platter or in a large bowl and garnish with cheese. Yummy!!! Enjoy! Serve with your protein as a possibility chicken......
