Creamy gnocchi with asparagus and ham is perfect Spring-time food.

16 ounces potato gnocchi, 1 package
1 1/2 cups asparagus, chopped into 1" pieces
1/2 cup frozen green peas
1 cup ham, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese
3/4 cup half and half
salt and pepper, to taste

In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ham, sauté until ham starts to brown. Add cream cheese and half & half, stirring to melt and combine.

Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to boil. Add gnocchi. After 1 minute add asparagus and peas. Once the gnocchi are floating to the top (about 2-3 minutes later) drain.

Add to the skillet. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and cook for a few minute until sauce thickens.
