Spring Vegetable Gnocchi! This vegetarian gnocchi recipe is delicious and easy! Peas and asparagus in a light cream sauce and gnocchi.

This vegetarian gnocchi recipe is the perfect way to welcome back spring. Fresh, crisp asparagus spears with bright peas in a light cream sauce with pillowy gnocchi. I’ve made this easy vegetarian gnocchi recipe twice in the last week and it’s been a hit each time.

First, with just BL and I and then again last night for our Easter dinner with his parents. When my father-in-law goes back for a forth serving, you know this one’s a keeper.

This gnocchi recipe is a slightly different version of one of my favorite recipes in my upcoming cookbook, Fresh Italian Cooking.

While that dish celebrates summer with fresh corn and zucchini, I’m giving this one a springtime touch with shallots, asparagus and peas. It’s so, so good. Even though this recipe plans on serving four, BL and I polished off the entire pan over the course of the afternoon.

For my dairy-free and vegan friends, this one is easily adaptable. Try it with my homemade parmesan cheese (or any store-bought version) and cashew cream.

Delicious Spring Vegetable Gnocchi

Whatever version you end of making, I think you are going to love this one. It’s ready in just 30 minutes, a perfect spring-time dinner. While roasted asparagus is my favorite side dish, I opted for a stove-top saute for faster prep time. Decked out with lemon, red pepper flakes and a light shaving of Parmesan, it’s simple yet full of flavor.

If you’re looking for an easy vegetarian gnocchi recipe, then you will want to save this one. It’s a crowd pleaser in my house and know it will be in your house as well!
