Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi with Italian Chicken Sausage and Kale

1. In a large nonstick pan preheated over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil along with the frozen cauliflower gnocchi; sprinkle with salt and pepper and sear undisturbed for 4-5 mins (until golden brown), stir, and cook another 4-5 more mins until heated through; remove from the pan (if you’re using regular gnocchi you can still pan fry, no need to boil it first, it may just take less time in the pan if it’s not frozen).
2. Add 1 more Tbsp olive oil along with the sausage and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until cooked through (4-5 mins), breaking the sausage into small pieces with your spatula.
3. Add the marinara and kale and cook until the marinara starts to bubble and the kale is slightly tender but still has a little bit of a crunchy texture (2-3 min); stir the gnocchi back in and season with salt, pepper, and/or red pepper flakes to taste.
4. Top with mozzarella and broil in the oven for 3-5 mins until the cheese is melted and golden brown (watch closely while broiling because things can burn easily).
5. Serve with grated parm and parsley sprinkled on top and enjoy!
