It's almost fall, ya'll! Are you ready for the comfort food!?

After a few days in Florida (thankfully escaping the hurricane!) I am getting ready for fall.

I came up with this cheesy cauliflower gnocchi recipe right when we got home from vacation, with very few things in the fridge.

That's when I thought of the Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi in my freezer. And all the frozen homemade sauce I had in the freezer. And the fresh mozzarella I always keep in the fridge. Thus, this recipe was born.

This recipe will be perfect for your busy fall nights. Whether you're working late and in a pinch for dinner or you are running your kids to 2 different practices, this will be the go-to fall dinner for you. Or, this might be a great meal prep option for your family.

You'll Need:

2 tbsp canola oil
2 packages of cauliflower gnocchi
1 jar of pasta sauce OR 4 cups homemade sauce
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil

Cheesy Cauliflower Gnocchi Recipe

Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a cast iron skillet and heat for 2 minutes.

Add your cauliflower gnocchi to the skillet. Let cook 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the gnocchi is slightly browned.

Add your sauce and mix well with the gnocchi.

Top with fresh mozzarella slices. Put the cast iron skillet in the oven and turn the broiler on.

Broil about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

Top with fresh basil and enjoy!
