Everyone loves this cauliflower Gnocchi from Trader Joe’s and I think it was even featured on the Today Show the other day. I bought a bag in the frozen section of Trader Joe’s during my weekly shopping trip and decided to mix it with some veggies and make a lemon garlic sauce. I wanted to make the sauce light so the flavors from the dish really come through. It was so good!! The gnocchi were like light pillows and the veggies paired perfectly with the gnocchi and sauce. It was light, flavorful, and a nice change. I don’t buy prepared stuff often so it’s something nice to have when you need a delicious dinner fast. I made this in under 20-25 minutes even while attempting to make a video for Instagram while cooking. The video wasn’t so great, but I’m trying!
