1 tablespoon olive oil
2 zucchini or summer squash, or one of each (about 2 pounds total), quartered and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 package (15 to 16 ounces) frozen gnocchi

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high.

2. Add squash and garlic and season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

4. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until juicy, about 2 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions.

6. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid, drain gnocchi and transfer to skillet.

7. Toss gnocchi, adding enough cooking liquid to create a sauce.
