Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I am not familiar with using frozen gnocchi. Do you thaw and cook it before adding to this recipe? It sounds delicious and since my teen-age daughters just announced they were vegetarians (LOL) it looks like a hearty main dish for them and side to ham slices for the rest of us!

This is an excellent recipe, FAST and very tasty! My husband doesn't like spinach so instead I substituted frozen chopped broccoli. Also, I had some frozen pearl onions left over from Christmas dinner and I substiuted the pearl onions for the chopped onion. It's a wonderful recipe and I am grateful for it. Thanks!

I normally do not like gnocchi so I was skeptical to say the least. This recipe changed my mind however! This is absolutely delicious. I added white wine with the Italian diced tomatoes, doubled the garlic, and added additional garlic powder, onion powder, basil, and oregano. We will be making this often! Inexpensive, healthy, quick, tasty, and hearty. Definitely a win!

Although described as a cold night winter's dish, my family would be highly disappointed if I only put it on my winter menu. This is a family favorite for us and a little goes a long way because it is surprisingly filling too. I have made it for family get togethers, and have had high compliments.

This quickly became our family favorite for Meatless Monday. Super easy to make in no time at all makes it minutes from stove to table. The flavor is amazing!

The flavor was so wonderful that if you added parmesean cheese, it would actually take away from the flavor of the meal itself.

Excellent recipe, very easy and great for a warm, quick after work meal. I wasn't sure if my husband would like it, but I think he would eat it every other day if I would make it that often! I follow the recipe exactly other than omitting the onion (which we don't care for). Thank you for sharing.
