How to Prepare Creamy Potato Gnocchi with Zucchini and Salmon
Wash the zucchini and cut them into small, regular cubes. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil and add the zucchini.
Sauté the zucchini over high heat for a couple of minutes. Add a pinch of salt and a glass of water. Let cook until they reach the desired softness.
When the water has evaporated, add the salmon (if using fresh, cut it into cubes, if using canned, drain well). Let it flavor for a minute.
Increase the heat, pour in the white wine, and let the alcohol evaporate completely.
Add the spreadable cheese to the pan along with a bit of the gnocchi cooking water. Stir well until you obtain a homogeneous and fluid cream.
Plunge the potato gnocchi into boiling salted water. Being small, they will be ready in about 2 minutes; as soon as they float, they are done.
Drain the gnocchi directly into the pan with the sauce. Toss everything over high heat for a minute until the cream perfectly coats each gnocchi.
Serve immediately
Storage
It is recommended to consume the dish immediately. If leftovers remain, you can store them in the fridge for a day and reheat with a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess.
