Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey sausage I used Jenni-O
- 1 medium zucchini (180g) cut into half-moons
- 1/2 cup corn (95g)
- 1 bag Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi I also found cauliflower gnocchi options at Walmart, Target and Whole Foods
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup shaved parmesan (20g) If you don’t have shaved do grated instead of shredded
- Grated parmesan cheese optional for serving
Instructions
- Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add the ground sausage and cook, crumbling as you go, for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
- Add the zucchini, corn and gnocchi. Cover with a lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Then uncover and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes or until gnocchi is warmed through.
- Stir in the spinach and shaved parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese to serve if desired and enjoy!
Notes
You do not need to cook the cauliflower gnocchi first before adding to the skillet. The beauty of this recipe is you can just dump everything into the one skillet and cook for under 20 minutes.
Ways To Switch It Up:
- Add more veggies! Add extra veggies like broccoli, cherry tomatoes, white mushrooms, asparagus, red onion, etc. Whatever sounds good to you!
- Use chicken or turkey! Sub the sausage for ground chicken or turkey!
- Add your favorite sauce! Like things sauce-y? Add your favorite marinara tomato sauce, alfredo or simple sauce for extra flavor and creaminess!
- Switch up your gnocchi! Sub the cauliflower gnocchi for any type of gnocchi you prefer! You can use traditional potato, sweet potato gnocchi, etc.!
- Make dairy-free! Ditch the cheese and keep this dish dairy-free!
- Spice it up! Add your favorite seasonings or spices like red pepper flakes, fresh garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, fresh basil, etc.
