Cauliflower Gnocchi alla Sorrentina
Cauliflower Gnocchi alla Sorrentina
Servings
2-3
Ingredients
- 1 package of cauliflower gnocchi (I use the frozen cauliflower gnocchi from Trader Joe’s)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ - ½ cup of liquid (chicken broth or water)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 handle of fresh spinach
- 1 cup of your favorite jarred marinara sauce
- 2-3 tbsp of shredded parmesan cheese
- 4 oz of fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces or shredded
- A few leaves of fresh basil, to garnish
Instructions
In a large sautée pan heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on high. Add the bag of frozen gnocchi along with the liquid of your choice (I start with ¼ cup of liquid and then add water if I need to continue thawing the gnocchi. You can use all water or all broth). Cook for about 5-7 minutes. The goal is to warm the gnocchi all the way through with sticking. If it starts to stick you can add some water or a little oil.
After the gnocchi has cooked through, season everything with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if you want a kick). Add in the clove of minced garlic and stir. Add the jarred marinara sauce and a handful of fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has warmed through (about 3 minutes). Add in cheeses or your choice. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper.
To serve:
Serve a few spoonfuls of the gnocchi onto each plate. Garish with torn fresh basil and extra cheese. Enjoy!
