Frozen Cauliflower Gnocchi in Spicy Tomato Sauce
Cauliflower gnocchi in a thick, spicy Italian tomato sauce. This is an easy pasta dish that cooks in one pan in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 12-ounce (350 g) package frozen cauliflower gnocchi such as Trader Joe's
- ¼ cup (60 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 fresh red chili chopped
- ½ cup (80 g) thinly sliced onion
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon crushed red chili or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 14-ounce can (400 g) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese to taste
Instructions
- Empty the package of gnocchi into a large nonstick skillet (no need to thaw). Add the water, cover the pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook exactly 6 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic, red pepper and salt and cook 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat, cover and cook 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens a bit and the gnocchi are tender but not falling apart (don't overcook).
- Serve warm in bowls sprinkled with parsley and cheese.
Notes
- If you don't like hot and spicy sauces, reduce the amount of red pepper by half, or omit it.
