Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  • Chop all of the vegetables into chunks roughly the same size as the gnocchi.
  • In a large roasting dish or sheet pan, toss the gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, onion, and capers together. Add a few good glugs of olive oil, and shake the pan to distribute evenly.

  • Cover the pan with foil, place into the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are just beginning to brown.
  • Remove the tray from the oven, remove the foil, and give it a stir. Add the ricotta, dropping spoonfuls over the top of the vegetables.

  • Put the tray back into the oven (without foil) and roast for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are saucy and the ricotta is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you'd prefer to use olives instead of capers, I recommend 1 cup of Castelvetrano olives. But really any olives you've got on hand will do!
