Meatless Monday - Gnocchi in Brown Butter with Spinach and Pine Nuts

This is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever make.  That's perfect for a Monday, or any other week night.  Gnocchi are a pasta that is typically made from potatoes but it also has flour in it so you'll want to look for a gnocchi that is gluten free or make your own if that is a concern in your diet.  Being a pasta made from potatoes it's really a perfect comfort food.

The recipe is so easy you may even have time and energy to make some Crip Rosemary Flatbread to go with it.

  1. it's not always easy to find pine nuts, I remember traveling through New Mexico and folks would sell them along side the road fresh picked.

    1. Interesting, I normally don't have any trouble finding them at Kroger or "Your Dekalb Farmer's Market." I usually find them in the baking isle. Have you tried there Linda?

  2. We are a gnocchi loving family, definitely going to give this recipe a try. I dislike Walmart but they sell pine nuts and they are usually a better price. I think they are in the nut aisle.
