It’s a very pretty plate but I’m kind meh on the dish. I added some lemon juice which gave it a little more zing

It does look amazing! But I suppose I’ll scratch it off my grocery list for today

Do you think more spice/peppers along with the citrus would save it?

Yes. And I think the parsley and basil I got were kind of shitty. It was all very one note. But I think I can riff on it and make it amazing

It should be a flavor bomb and it just wasn’t. Also think next time I’d dice the onions, use less olive oil, throw some crushed red pepper in there, more citrus, etc

Yeah, I’m gonna add some pickled peppers and citrus to punch through the olive oil. And I like the idea of red pepper for the textural element too

I kind of wish I just had a bowl of crispy gnocchi to snack on like popcorn lol

Ooooh with some nice salted butter? Maybe a cacio e Pepe gnocchi/popcorn vibe?

Omg that would be so good. I do have some nice parm…

It's a shame Trader Joe's sued to eliminate the NLRB because otherwise I'd say their green Gnocchi can provide a decent quick cook accommodation for that

Maybe I’ll pull it back on the grocery list but do some peppers that I’ll pickle, and some lemon for brightness

I also think (just my preference) I’d prefer a mix of roasted and raw tomatoes. The textures were just all a little wonky
