Savanna’s Crispy Gnocchi & Tomato Salad
with baby marrow & a balsamic vinaigrette
Fun fact: Gnocchi isn’t a type of pasta. Traditional gnocchi is made from potatoes, which makes it a dumpling. Another fact is that this gnocchi recipe is delicious! On a bed of green leaves rests crispy pillows of butternut gnocchi, dotted with rounds of green baby marrow and pops of tangy blistered baby tomatoes.
