I got a little peach-happy at the farmers’ market last weekend. They looked and smelled so amazing that I bought way more than I needed and couldn’t help but bite into one on the way home. There is really nothing like a fresh summer peach. But when you have so many at the peak of ripeness, what to do?
Instead of loading up on desserts, try incorporating fresh peaches into your dinner. Get inspired by this gorgeous Peach Gnocchi from 101 Cookbooks—just one successful example of peaches gone savory. If gnocchi from scratch is too time-intensive for your summer supper, we’ve got plenty more ideas…
