Cauliflower Gnocchi To Fool Them All!
Considering I’m 75% Italian, I am no stranger to the pillowy belly sinking gnocchi that we all know and love! They’re one of my favorite guilty pleasures. But, after I eat them, I feel like I need a week-long juice cleanse. If you’re like me, I have the best news ever! The frozen Cauliflower Gnocchi from Trader Joes are TO-DIE-FOR!
Now if you’re not like me and the dense little pillow pasta doesn’t leave you hurting, try these anyway! And don’t tell your family. See if they notice. That’s what I did, and no one knew! It was fun :o)
This supper couldn’t be easier to make. This is what I did…
I started by sautéing some diced onion. Then I added in 2 heaping handfuls of cut Tuscan Kale. I added in some salt & pepper, and sautéed that until the kale was bright green and softened, about 7 minutes.
While the kale cooked, I busted out the frozen cauliflower gnocchi and cooked those in a separate skillet according to the package instructions (I prefer the saute method).
While the gnocchi cooked away, I added a can of San Marzano crushed tomatoes into the pot with the sautéed onion & kale. I turned off the heat and set aside.
When the gnocchi finished cooking, I added them to the sauce and stirred to combine. I gave it a taste for seasoning. And that’s it! How easy was that?! Sprinkle some fresh basil and serve it up! Remember, don’t tell your family it’s cauliflower! See if they notice.
Ingredients Â
MethodÂ
- In a large dutch oven or heavy pot, turn heat to medium and add in 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Saute diced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add in 2 heaping handfuls of Tuscan Kale (that's already had stems removed and diced). Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until kale softens and wilts, about 7 minutes. Taste to ensure correct seasoning and doneness.
- Add in minced garlic and saute another minute or two.
- While the kale cooks, take gnocchi out of the freezer and cook according to the package instructions (I prefer the saute method).
- Meanwhile, in your sauce pot, add in the can of crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine and season with salt & pepper to taste. Turn off heat and set aside.
- Once gnocchi is finished cooking, add to the sauce. Stir to combine.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
