I love gnocchi dishes and after reading about how this one in particular made sea-food eaters at dinner jealous, I knew I had to try it (being a fellow non-seafood fan). I have had sun-dried tomato alfredo sauces many times, but I think this was my first experience adding roasted red peppers. And let me just tell you that every last drop of this sauce was devoured, I made sure of it. There was no way I was allowing any of that deliciousness go to waste. And even though I went ahead and used a homemade lighter alfredo sauce recipe instead of jarred, it was still quick to throw together. Next time I might even add some chicken.
Stay turned because tomorrow I am guest posting on Lemon Sugar – the very place this recipe originated!

Oh how delicious is this? I love gnocchi!
I’m a big fan of gnocchi but never really made it from scratch. I love how creamy and full of flavor this dish is.
I love gnocchi but never make it myself! I am a huge fan of alfredo however, so I might just have to add this to my to make list :)
Maybe you should add homemade gnocchi to your “why bother?: list!
Actually it is on my WB list! I think it’s coming up in a few months, summer maybe? Should be fun!
This looks amazing; I love gnocchi and I definitely want to try your alfredo sauce recipe! Yum!
I don’t have much experience with gnocchi. I order sometimes at restaurants but have never made it at home. Trader Joe’s has a sweet potato one that I have fallen in love with so I am going to be looking to make some soon. Great recipe.
OMG this just sounds so amazing. I love those sauces where you could drink it right out of the pot. Love the addition of roasted peppers…mmm so drooling over here! YUM!
Oh, I loveeeeee gnocchi and the sauce for this sounds wonderful, Erin! I have a package of gnocchi in the freezer that is now begging me to make them with this sauce :-D
This sounds great. I may have to reconsider doing a meatlessmeal once a week and this may be the first read to break the ice!
Oh yum! I haven’t had gnocchi in forever! I love it, but for some strange reason my family doesn’t? I guess I’ll just have to make it for myself! :)
This looks wonderful. So full of flavor, creamy, and delicious!
Mmmm, this looks tasty. I love red pepper cream sauce. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that looks super creamy and delicious! I’m not a huge red pepper fan, but I have used them in sauces and enjoyed them. And with gnocchi, well you can’t go wrong :)
