Product Recommendation: Trader Joe’s Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce

To celebrate my girlfriends in Dallas finally being able to shop at Trader Joe’s and keeping it simple during the week, I purchased this package of ready made Gnocchi. I’ve always wanted to make it from scratch and have never found the courage or the time. So, as soon as I saw these at Trader Joe’s, I grabbed them. All you have to do is boil these suckers and wait for them to float to the top. The gnocchi doesn’t come with a sauce, so you do have to make a sauce. .  but this one is super simple and yummy!

 

A little more information on Gnocchi from Wikipedia:

Gnocchi are typically eaten as a first course, alternatives to soups or pasta. They are generally home-made in Italian households. They may also be bought fresh from specialty stores. In supermarkets, industrially produced packaged gnocchi are widely available refrigerated, dried, or frozen. Common accompaniments of gnocchi include tomato sauces, pesto, and melted butter (sometimes fried butter) with cheese.

 

So, the next time you’re shopping at TJ’s and you see their Gnocchi, grab a package and give it a try! *And my apologies! I threw away the package and forgot to photograph it. Just ask for help at TJ’s if you’re interested in buying some! I hope you enjoy!
