Gnocchi with fava beans
Such a lovely colorful meal and so tasty. It would be easy to make this for a Christmas meal as it is so red and green, but it tastes great any time of the year. We enjoyed it on a windy wet fall night with a lovely rose wine and a full grain bread and kohlrabi Waldorf salad.
