Recipe: Tomato Gnocchi with Parmesan Pork Chops

New year new food! I can't wait to share all of my yummy ideas with  you guys. And hopefully more often than before.

So tonight I wanted to share a recipe I made up over the holidays, that I found really yummy.

Tomato Gnocchi with Parmesan Pork Chops

Ingredients:

For Gnocchi:

two normal sized (forgot amount!)  of diced or stewed tomatoes

1 package of store-bought gnocchi

Italian seasons to taste

Pork chop recipe:

Italian style pork chops

Instructions:

1) In a large skillet, add the gnocchi and one can of the tomatoes (with the juice!). Turn up the heat so it can begin to cook.

2)Once it starts to bubble, cover and let simmer. By covering  you are allowing the gnocchi to fully soften up.

3) You shouldn't need to simmer it for more than 5 or so minutes. Check on it to make sure that it isn't burning, and add extra can of tomatoes if needed. The gnocchi has a lot of starch, which will thicken the tomato sauce a lot.

4) Once it is almost ready, add your Italian seasonings. I always like basil and oregano, but you can add whatever you choose.

5) Remove from heat and serve with pork and veggies ! 

This went really well with the pork chops, and even better with Italian roasted veggies. Overall, this is a good recipe for those who like gnocchi but never know what to do with it!
