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.

Mmmm gnocchi and chorizo sound dreamy together. I love a easy quick meal and this dish is calling my name!!
OMG!!! This looks seriously amazing! Need to get Julie’s book asap!
Wow, does that look good! Chorizo is my favorite sausage, and gnocchi is my husband’s favorite. It’s like this recipe was made for us.
Such a beautiful and perfect Fall/Winter dish! This is one you eat with your eyes first!
I really need to learn how to cook for two because I always overcook. Always. This looks amazing. I love chorizo but don’t cook with it often. I need to start with this recipe!
Chorizo and Gnocchi? Yes, please. I’ll take a double helping ; )
This looks scrumptious. I could eat an endless bowl of this right now. I’m all for making life easier too so I’m keeping that little trick in mind next time I make a pasta dish.
Mmm, this looks awesome! It’s just my husband and me so I love scaled down recipes – I’ll have to check out this book!
I have everything i need for this – guess who’s got a bottle of wine and this to make tonight!! What what!!
