Tasty Delights-- Spring Greens Gnocchi #amazing

Food deliciousness, yall. Again a HelloFresh box. lol If you go via my link you can get $40 off your first box. I get a bit of credit, too. Woo!

Anywo, this time there was nothing in the recipe I'd not tried and loved previously but the combination of ingredients...I guess it's just not something I would have done normally or even thought of. But it was delicious. I really could have eaten the entire pan and not felt bad about it at all. I definitely went back for seconds.

Gnocchi, peas, asparagus. Some garlic and parmesan and a little sour cream. I wasn't sure about adding walnut pieces because... kinda strange and didn't think the texture would work well. But it worked!

Some not so pretty steps.

Saute those garlic slices.

Smells heavenly!!

And boil your gnocchi.

If you haven't worked with them before you can buy them in the pasta aisle at most stores. Then you just plop them in boiling water. They'll sink to the bottom and once they're floating that means they're done. They cook very quickly!

Add peas to your garlic! I love the color of fresh peas. So vibrant!

LOL I know not the prettiest of pictures. I used the same water from my gnocchi to do a quick boil on my asparagus.

Once everything is cooked start adding them together.

Doesn't that just scream spring?!

And a few more ingredients. This really was simple. Add and mix!

You get a very light cheesy cream sauce.

And  bowl of deliciousness!

Seriously. This was amazing. And will become a staple in my meal planning.

It was a perfect combo of warm comfort from the gnocchi and a pop of fresh spring from the asparagus and peas. Filling, simple, delicious. Perfect!
