Asiago Chicken Cauliflower Gnocchi with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

Have you tried Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower gnocchi?

If not, I think you have to run to your nearest TJ’s and buy roughly 5-7 bags. It’s seriously so good and perfect for busy nights because it’s super easy to make.

I’ve heard from multiple people that cooking it according to the package instructions results in mushy gnocchi, so I recommend thawing it first and then frying it in a skillet.

Once it’s crispy brown on both sides, just add your favorite sauce and enjoy! Or, make this One Skillet Asiago Chicken Cauliflower Gnocchi with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Spinach!

I had some extra asiago cheese to use up, and this was the perfect way to use it. The recipe was inspired by a similar one at one of my favorite food blogs Eat Yourself Skinny.

I pretty much love any combination with asiago cheese and chicken – the two go together SO well. Asiago cheese is so full of flavor.

I like using a little bit more cheese in this recipe, but if you don’t prefer the strong asiago cheese flavor, I’d recommend cutting it down a bit.

This was outrageously salty! Even my salt loving Scandinavian American husband thought it was too salty. I spent dinner fishing the sundries tomatoes out of my bowl to reduce the overwhelming salt. Should have known with four salty ingredients for flavor (salt, stock, sun dried tomatoes and cheese). I would recommend no-salt or low-salt stock, chopping the sundries smaller than a julienne to reduce the potency per bite, and eliminating the salt from the salt and pepper step. If at serving time it needs more salt, add it then!
