Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1 16 ounce package potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 12 fresh mushrooms cleaned and stems trimmed
  • 12 grape tomatoes
  • 10 torn fresh basil leaves

Instructions
 

  • Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-low heat. Place about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese at a time into the skillet. Cook until cheese melts into a thin circle, begins to bubble, and browns at the edges, about 1 minute. Flip the crisp, and brown the other side for about 30 seconds. Remove the crisp to a plate to cool. Make 3 more cheese crisps the same way.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook and stir until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove pine nuts from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook gnocchi according to the package directions; drain them in a colander set in the sink.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add zucchini; cook and stir just until seared, about 2 minutes. Remove zucchini from the pan. Reduce heat to medium; add mushrooms and stir until they begin to give up their juices but are still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain the juices. Return zucchini to the pan; add tomatoes, torn basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, drained gnocchi, and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; cook and stir until heated through.
  • To serve, divide gnocchi among four plates, and serve each plate topped with a Parmesan cheese crisp.
