And the surprising thing is that this beloved recipe can be even more accessible and quick with a little help from the pressure cooker.

Today we confit tomatoes. They are a delight—have you tried them? When confiting, tomatoes are cooked at a low temperature so they don't burn or fall apart. Also, by confiting them, the nutritional properties and natural flavor of the tomatoes are preserved, while their acidity is reduced and they develop a sweeter, milder taste. The end result is a delicious preserve that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, such as sauces, stews, pizzas, green salads, pasta dishes and more. Have I convinced you yet?

Raise your hand if you want a plate of sautéed gnocchi with mushrooms and spinach! Since I imagine many hands will go up and I don't have a pan that big, I think the best solution to make sure no one misses out on their portion of gnocchi is to share the recipe with you. That way, after trying it, you can make it as many times as you like and also adapt it to your taste.

That’s why I’m sure these oven-roasted potatoes with crispy Parmesan will disappear as soon as you serve them.
