Skillet Gnocchi

Wowza.  This recipe is amazing.  Some of you may already know this, but I am a huge gnocchi fan.  Maggiano's, a chain Italian restaurant here in town, makes some pretty tasty gnocchi.  However, I think this skillet gnocchi is my all-time favorite.

Not only is this dish bursting with flavor, but it's really easy to make and doesn't take more than 30 minutes!  What more could you want?  Makes four servings, but I'd be surprised if you managed to save any leftovers.
