Cauliflower Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage

Ingredients

  • 1 package Trader Joe's frozen cauliflower gnocchi (otherwise, use 3 1/2 cups of your favorite cooked gnocchi)
  • 3-4 links chicken (or plant-based) sausage
  • 1 cup baby cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup mild banana pepper rings
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme (sprigs removed)
  • sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to taste

Instructions

  • Place frozen gnocchi in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Let thaw.
  • Over medium heat, add one tablespoon olive oil, along with the minced garlic and fresh thyme to your large pan. Sauté for a few minutes (until the onions are translucent). Stir often.
  • Toss in your diced sausage and continue to mix, letting each coin fry on both sides.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, then toss in your thawed gnocchi, tomatoes, and mild pepper rings. Let the gnocchi fry on each side for 2-3 minutes. I find that shaking my pan fries the gnocchi evenly.
  • Add sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to taste. Turn off the heat, then plate. To garnish, add a few thyme leaves.
  • Enjoy! This will keep, in the fridge, for 2-3 days. To re-heat, add oil to a small pan and sauté until hot.
