grilled veggie gnocchi

i'm trying to be much better with leftovers. i don't often make enough at one meal to last another, but sometimes i have pieces of a meal left over that get stuck in the fridge. wasting less food is at the top of my kitchen priority list right now. for one, it's expensive to throw away all that yummiess and two, why would we throw away yumminess?!

after our meal the other night of grilled chicken and vegetables, we had a fair amount of veggies left over (by design, this time). i find that leftover grilled vegetables are fabulous. sometimes we put them over pasta, in quesadillas, on sandwiches, on a pizza, on their own - they're very versatile.

i decided to try something new this time.  dave's had this thing for gnocchi recently, so i decided to give it a whirl. i didn't even make my own - this was the easiest dinner ever. i boiled the gnocchi* per the instructions on the package, added just enough roasted vegetable tomato sauce (store-bought!) to coat, and piled veggies on top. we topped everything with some freshly grated parmesan cheese and let me tell you - DELISH!

*the gnocchi we get at one of our grocery stores is gluten-free. the gnocchi that is available at the other two supermarkets is most definitely NOT gluten-free to be sure to check your packaging!
