This roasted red pepper spinach chorizo gnocchi is the perfect 20-minute weeknight meal. It is packed full of flavor and is super simple to make. Your whole family will love this dish!
Guess what you guys? My totally amazing blogger friend Julie from Table for Two has a cookbook and I’m here to tell you all about it!
Her new book Dinner for Two: Easy and Innovative Recipes for One, Two, or a Few is something you’re going to love! It has simple recipes that are perfect for the crazy weekday dinner rush. In fact, I have already made this recipe 2 times! The first time I made it I ate it for lunch 2 days in a row and the second time was just last night.
I had to tell my husband to stop eating because he was about to burst with gnocchi happiness.
Do you ever do that? Love a dish so much that you totally overeat? I’m so guilty of this.
You guys know I love chorizo so making this dish was a no-brainer for me.
Plus gnocchi is the perfect weeknight dish because it cooks up in no time. That means in just 20 minutes I was sitting down and stuffing this wildly into my face. I guess if you were really feeling fancy you could make homemade gnocchi but let’s be serious – ain’t nobody got time for that.
Oh and here is one little tip! In the recipe, it calls for dicing up some roasted red peppers. I totally cheated and bought 2 little jars of sliced pimentos. There is a difference between roasted red peppers and pimentos but it’s subtle and I’m all about making my cooking life a little shorter.
So if you’re short on time or don’t have any roasted red peppers on hand (and weirdly happen to have a few jars of sliced pimentos) totally keep this in mind!
Now if it were me I would eat this dish for breaking, lunch, and dinner but since I’m probably the only “I love leftovers more in the morning than at night” weirdo I would say make this chorizo roasted red pepper spinach gnocchi for dinner and take the leftovers for lunch the next.
Well, that’s if you have leftovers. To be honest this is so good you’ll probably eat it all the same night.
