Potato Gnocchi with Roasted Peppers and Ricotta

This was a pleasant surprise. If only all my kitchen experiments turned out as well.... It's super quick and easy, and wait until the ricotta starts melting over the hot pasta. Perfectly yummy.

1 pkg. Potato Gnocchi (I prefer Target's Archer Farm's brand)
3 bell peppers, red, orange and yellow, large dice
1/2 purple onion, chopped
2 tsp. Herbes de Provence
3-4 Tbl. olive oil
salt and pepper
15 oz. container Part-skim Ricotta cheese
Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Preheat oven to 400*. On a parchment lined baking sheet, toss peppers, onion, herbs, salt and pepper with olive oil to coat. Cook until carmelized, about 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare gnocchi according to package directions. With a large slotted spoon, directly transfer hot, cooked gnocchi to baking sheet with peppers. Toss together. Serve with freshly grated parmesan and a generous dollop of ricotta cheese. Enjoy!
