Cheese Filled Skillet Gnocchi with Lemon, Ricotta and Asparagus

Cheesy Gnocchi Recipe

Loaded with amazing taste and a creamy texture, Olivieri® Fresh Cheese Filled Skillet Gnocchi is sautéed with tender crisp asparagus, garlic, lemon zest, Parmesan and a dollop of ricotta cheese.

What really makes this dish show-stopping is the base of fresh gnocchi filled with a combination of three incredible cheeses like mozzarella, Emmental, comté and white cheese. Unlike traditional tender gnocchi, this skillet version is sautéed for a crispy outer shell with a soft and gooey cheesy inside. When combined with the spring asparagus and fresh flavours, it makes a wonderful meal to impress your family or dinner guests.

If you have trouble locating fresh asparagus, simply swap in snap peas, rapini, leeks, broccolini, kale or green beans.

Serve as a filling bowl on its own or pair with any meat cut of choice or extra vegetables. While this meal is naturally meat free, to add a bit more protein include salmon, cooked and crumbled bacon or shredded chicken.

Here at Olivieri®, we’ll show you how to make gnocchi.
