Spicy Kale Gnocchi with Roasted Tomatoes

Traditional gnocchi can be heavy and quite filling. I mean, it is potato!

A few bites, you’re stuffed and left with a full plate, you won’t be able to finish. That’s usually the case for me. Which is why I’m stunned I picked up Trader Joe’s Kale Gnocchi. I was so hesitant when I saw it there in the frozen section, but thought, why not? And to my surprise, TJ’s kale gnocchi is not heavy at all and will leave eaters satisfied. 

There are many ways gnocchi can be prepared, but since this is kale and super green, I wanted to add more color to it to and make it flavorful. Note, you can roast your tomatoes or purchase Trader Joe’s Organic Tomatoes – Diced & Fire Roasted.

Here’s how I put it all together.
