For this recipe, we simply crisp them up in a skillet in drippings rendered from prosciutto. Then we toss with arugula for peppery crunch, parsley for a sharp herbal note, and lemon zest to freshen things up. The result is an easy, fun dinner that packs a lot of flavor. Serve with white wine and fresh fruit for dessert. P.S. Though gnocchi is potato-based, most are not gluten-free. Check the packaging if you're cooking for someone with a gluten sensitivity, or substitute with cauliflower gnocchi for a gluten-free and keto-friendly dish. 42 Perfect Pasta Recipes You'll Want to Make for Dinner Tonight (and Every Night) Ingredients ¼ cup olive oil 2 ounces prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces 1 (16 oz) pkg shelf-stable potato gnocchi 3 cups baby arugula (3 oz) ¼ cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (¼ oz) 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 Tbsp fresh juice (from 1 lemon) Directions Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high.
