Kale Gnocchi in a Garlic Walnut Sauce
This is a unique and really tasty way to enjoy Trader Joe's kale gnocchi (which is way better than the cauliflower gnocchi!) that really ups the protein with walnuts.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package kale gnocchi
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 8 tbsp butter divided
- 1 small clove garlic minced
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp semolina flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- ¼ cup walnut pieces
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the apple cider vinegar over medium heat. Turn on the heat and start the timer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat when done.
- In the meantime, put the water in a microwave safe measuring cup and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. When done, stir in the semolina flour and leave in the closed microwave for now.
- Start browning 6 tbsp of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter begins sputtering keep a very close eye on it! This means the browning is beginning.
- Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the kale gnocci and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the butter is browned, remove from heat and mix in the garlic and walnuts. Let rest for 1 minute.
- Stir in the reduced apple cider vinegar, then the starch water, and finally, the cheese.
- Serve by plating the gnocchi, then ladle the broth, getting plenty of walnuts in each scoop, over the kale. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese as desired. Eat immediately.
