Some people complain that gnocchi is generally covered in a cream sauce or cheese. I had it for almost every lunch when I got to go to Italy a few years back and 9 times out 10 it was in a cream or cheese sauce. For those of you who have not had the honor of indulging in a dish like this, gnocchi are soft potato dumplings that are made by combining flour and mashed potatoes. Combine the creamy goat cheese sauce with roasted red peppers and herbs to elevate the flavor and serve it with a side of Eggplant Bruschetta (and a glass of pinot grigio of course)!
