Not A Sponsored Post—We’re Just Really Into TJ’s Cauliflower Gnocchi!

Fellow Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi lovers, please make yourself right at home! We cannot get enough of these tender little pillows of low-carb goodness. We like to pair them with TJ’s bruschetta sauce, which claims to be a “topping”—but we think actually makes a really nice pasta sauce. Loaded with fresh basil and garlic, it makes a super fresh, bright-tasting sauce for a big, easy skillet dinner of cauliflower gnocchi with sausage and arugula.

Trader Joe’s Bruschetta Sauce to the Rescue!

Inspired by the classic Italian bruschetta topping—fresh, salted tomatoes, garlic, basil and lots of extra virgin olive oil—this sauce is fresh and delicious. We always grab a jar when we make a TJ’s run (along with about 10,000 bags of their frozen cauliflower gnocchi) and so this dinner recipe basically wrote itself—they were a no-brainer pairing. Here’s how to make it:

1. Sauté the frozen gnocchi in a skillet along with the sliced Italian chicken sausage. Both should brown at roughly the same rate.
2. When the gnocchi is warmed through, add the bruscetta!
3. Simmer a little and then fold in the arugula. It’ll get a little wilty, and that’s exactly what you want!
4. Done! That’s it, my friends. Time to dig in.

Tools You’ll Need:

• Skillet.
• A sharp knife.
• A cutting board.
• A sturdy spoon.
