Gnocchi with Summer Veggies

From Everyday Food iPhone App via daily recipe

I substitute 2 bags frozen tortellini with excellent results!

1 T olive oil
2 zucchini or summer squash, quartered and sliced
2 minced garlic cloves
1 pkg frozen gnocchi (15 or 16 oz)
1/4 c fresh basil, chopped
2 T grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 T butter
2 tsp fresh lemon juice

- In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
- Add squash and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook stirring occasionally, until squash is crisp - tender, 4-5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, cook, stirring occasionally, until juicy, about 2 minutes.

- Meanwhile in large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to pkg directions. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid, drain gnocchi and transfer to skillet.

- Toss gnocchi, adding enough cooking liquid to create a sauce.

- Remove from heat and stir in basil, cheese, butter, and lemon juice.
