- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1 bag Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi
- 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 head lacinato kale shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice about one lemon
- Shredded parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Defrost the gnocchi: you can either leave the gnocchi out at room temperature for about two hours, or microwave in 30 second intervals until fully defrosted. Pat the gnocchi dry.
Add one tablespoon olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the defrosted gnocchi. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, until browned, then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until browned.
Remove the gnocchi from the pan, then add the sausage to the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until crisp, then remove from the pan and drain off the excess fat.
Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pan along with the bell pepper and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bell pepper is wilted, then add the shredded kale. Cover the pan to steam the kale for 3-4 minutes, until wilted, then stir in the lemon juice and salt.
Add the sausage and gnocchi back to the pan, then sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and serve!
- If you'd prefer to use a different kind of gnocchi, just follow the cooking instructions on the package and proceed with step 1.
- A good non-stick skillet is essential for getting the gnocchi crisp! If the gnocchi starts to stick, just gently loosen it from the pan and let it continue to crisp.
