Zucchini Gnocchi

Make gnocchi following recipe on

www.taste.com.au/recipes/2446/potato+gnocchi

then make a zucchini sauce:
very thinly slice zucchinis. Cook in batches in hot olive oil. Some slight charring is desirable. Remove zucchini then cook thinly sliced red onion and crushed garlic briefly. Add zucchini back in and finish with a little lemon-scented olive oil from montalto. Stir gnocchi through pan before serving.

A fresh tomato chopped through could be a nice variation.

Preparation: gnocchi is not as fiddly as may be expected, and can be done earlier in the day. Sauce is quick.
