We have been hit with a stretch of cold weather here in the upper midwest. There have been a few days that I don’t think we got above zero. Brrr… On these days I like to make something that is hearty and warm us up no matter how cold the weather becomes.
It wasn’t until recently that I started eating gnocchi. Not only is this delicious to eat it is also fun to say. Mike was actually the one that said to me that I should make something with gnocchi since we both love the stuff.
My niece got married this past summer and for the dinner at the reception, the bride and groom had three different serving stations for food. One of the stations had French food, the other serving station had food from the state where the bride and groom are from, and then there was an Italian station. The Italian station had a dish with gnocchi. I think Mike has had gnocchi on his mind ever since their wedding. Fun stuff!
This dish is one of those hearty and sticks to your ribs kind of meals. It is simple to make and it comes together quickly. The garlic, sun-dried tomatoes along with the white wine, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning will make your taste buds extra happy.
Hows the weather at your neck of the woods? If you are looking for a hearty tasty dish may I suggest creamy sun-dried tomato chicken gnocchi?

This looks really great! Those chicken chunks are so succulent and tender…a wonderful meal, Dawn.
Wow, this sounds like my kind of comfort food, Dawn! I actually learned how to make gnocchi when I had the chance to study in Rome during college. I don’t make it near enough, although I do order it almost every time we go out to an Italian restaurant. You’ve inspired me to make a batch at home sometime soon! This meal really is calling my name! đŸ™‚
This looks and sounds delicious, Dawn! It’s the kind of stick to your ribs meal we need now, perfect for today after snow-blowing the driveway! Thanks!
