Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage

Trader Joes’ Cauliflower Gnocchi is a fan favorite among many TJ’s regulars, and it’s easy to see why. It’s ready in 10 minutes, it’s vegan and gluten-free, and it’s just as satisfying as the classic — all while being made up of 75 percent cauliflower. I still reject a lot of cauliflower substitutes (particularly rice), but TJ’s hit the nail on the head with this gnocchi, and it’s the perfect blank canvas for adding your own flair.

Here, I’ve paired the gnocchi with a nutty brown butter and sage sauce, which makes this easy dinner feel fancy. All you need to grab from TJ’s is the gnocchi, some sage leaves, unsalted butter, fresh spinach, and Parmesan cheese.

You’ll start by cooking the gnocchi in a skillet, which gives it a slightly crisped exterior that contrasts the soft, pillow-y inside. Brown the butter in a pot, then add the sage leaves, spinach, and a pinch of salt. Add the gnocchi, give it a toss, then serve with plenty of Parmesan on top.
