Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium-low heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese at a time to the skillet. Cook until the cheese melts into a thin circle, starts to bubble, and browns at the edges, about 1 minute. Flip the crisp and brown the other side for about 30 seconds. Transfer the crisp to a plate to cool. Repeat to make 3 more cheese crisps the same way.

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large skillet over high heat. Add the zucchini; cook and stir just until seared, about 2 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the pan. Reduce the heat to medium; add the mushrooms and stir until they begin to release their juices but are still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain the juices. Return the zucchini to the pan; add the tomatoes, torn basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, drained gnocchi, and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; cook and stir until heated through.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
