Zucchini and Ricotta Gnocchi for a healthy weekend treat

Zucchini and Ricotta Gnocchi with Lemon Sauce


Gnocchi is such an Italian  food favourite and will be your new family favourite as well. This vegetarian gnocchi recipe is based on ricotta cheese, not potato, so these little dumpling treats are slightly richer in flavour, and you don't have to cook the potato. When I saw this recipe and photo in a recent Mindfood magazine, my mouth watered and I just had to cook it. I had never made gnocchi before, and rarely order it in restaurants in preference for meat based dishes, however with zucchinis being in season, it is the perfect dish on a hot summers night or for lunch on  Sunday.
