Warm and Cheesy Gnocchi Salad

Pasta is something  that I can't say no to! I mean however you make it I will try at least a bite or whole plateful of that goodness. I don't think about diet, weight, nor calories. 

So Today for lunch I thought to make gnocchi salad. I never made it myself, did searched for good recipe and found on more than few blogs...but I had 1 more pk in my fridge already made so I said nobody would care if they are homemade or pre-packed... hey they are imported from Italy, it counts for something :))

However I will promise that I'll try to make my own soon!:)

Ingredients:

• 1 pk of Gnocchi
• 4 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 vine-ripened tomato, 
• Handfuls salad greens
• 2 Tablespoons of  Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon of Italian dry herbs
• 1/2 teaspoon of dry basil
• Handful of chopped scallions

Directions:

1. Boil the Gnocchi in salted water for about 7-10 minutes; when they pop on top it's done. drain and put on the side. Don't overcook!
2. In a medium  bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper to taste and herbs. Toss the lettuce with a little bit of olive oil and put it in the serving bowl. 
3. Pour the rest of the seasoned olive oil on the gnocchi and stir it lightly. 
4. With large spoon/curved spatula take about spoonful of gnocchi and put in the middle(on top) of the salad. Sprinkle with parmigiano and mozzarella cheese. 
5. Cut the tomatoes and  arrange on the side of the salad bowl. Whatever was left from the tomatoes I chopped into pieces and put in the middle of the bowl. 
6. Sprinkle with handful of chopped scallions and you are done.

This salad was warm, delicious, and so tasty!

Enjoy!!!
