    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • Ground black pepper to taste

  • Aromatics

    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Oil and Liquids

    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 🍋 ¼ cup lemon juice
    • 1 pint heavy cream
    • 1 tablespoon capers

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a large high-sided pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2

Add broccoli, cauliflower, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Mix well, cover, and cook for 4 minutes.

3

Remove the lid, mix well, and pour in chicken broth. Replace lid and steam-cook the vegetables for another 4 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float to the top, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.

5

Pour lemon juice over the steamed vegetables and mix. Add heavy cream and capers, then simmer for 6 minutes.

6

Mix in the cooked gnocchi and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and let the dish sit for 2 minutes before serving.
