Servings: 1 person
Equipment
- Large saucepan, with lid
Ingredients
- ½ bag Trader Joe's sweet potato gnocchi
- 1 link Garlic Herb or Italian Sausage
- 1 cups Frozen vegetables
- 2 Tablespoons Water
Instructions
- Add ½ bag Trader Joe's sweet potato gnocchi, 1 link of sausage, 1 cup frozen vegetables to saucepan. Add 2 Tablespoons water. Cover, cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. (follow directions on gnocchi package)
- Remove lid, turn down heat to low. Stir and cook another 3-4 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly and ingredients are warmed through.
Notes
- This recipe doesn't have to be followed exactly, add as much sausage and vegetables as you'd like. Just don't add more than about a cup of vegetables to ½ bag of gnocchi as it would thin out the sauce too much. If adding more, cook it separately.
- I found the sage flavor to be low, you can add some fresh or dried sage to the cooking gnocchi for more sage flavor.
- Substitute Trader Joe's sweet potato gnocchi with regular gnocchi or sweet potato chunks. Find a tasty recipe for a sage butter sauce and toss it in that.
- If cooking with sausage, use a savory flavored one, like garlic herb or Italian. It will balance out the sweet gnocchi better than a sweet sausage, like apple.
- Add whatever vegetables you'd like, if any. Use fresh or frozen. You can add canned too, just drain them. Just add about 1 cup per ½ bag so the sauce doesn't get too thin.
- I found it better to enjoy the gnocchi soft, instead of trying to brown them. The sauce started to burn as I cooked them longer to brown.
- Topping Add-ins: chopped cashews or almonds, fresh or dried sage or thyme, parsley, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, etc.
