Gnocchi and Peas With Whipped Feta

Gnocchi and Peas With Whipped Feta
Ryan Liebe for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne.

Recipe by Hetty Lui McKinnon | Total time: 35 minutes

Bright with citrus and mint and sweetened with peas, the colorful dip ties all the ingredients together. Crisp sugar snap peas get a quick toss in the skillet to unlock their sweetness, while peas deliver tiny pops of juiciness. (Frozen peas work just fine, but use fresh if you have them.) Shelf-stable gnocchi are best here, developing a crunchy golden exterior in the skillet, with a center that stays pillowy and chewy.  As the seasons change, the sugar snaps can be substituted with fresh tomatoes, smashed cucumbers, charred green beans or grilled eggplant or peppers.
