If you’re tired of long pasta noodles, these recipes using gnocchi are a great alternative for dinner. While gnocchi is traditionally made from potatoes, these recipes use both potato and cauliflower gnocchi, so you can sneak in an extra serving of vegetables. Not to mention, many varieties of gnocchi are shelf-stable and last for months in your pantry. Recipes like Vegan Gnocchi Soup and Air-Fryer Cauliflower Gnocchi with Marinara Dipping Sauce are delicious, filling and the perfect weeknight meal.

02of 16Gnocchi with Bacon & Creamy Pumpkin SauceView RecipeGet into the fall spirit with this one-pan gnocchi with a creamy pumpkin sauce. Some pumpkin and other squash sauces can be cloyingly sweet, but not this one–it’s savory all the way, thanks to the bacon, garlic and thyme. Instead of being boiled, a package of store-bought gnocchi–one of our favorite convenience products–is browned and crisped in a little bit of bacon fat. Then the sauce (made with canned pumpkin–another great convenience product) is prepared right in that same pan, so cleanup is minimal too. Serve with a simple green salad for an easy dinner that comes together in 30 minutes. Source: EatingWell.com, September 2019
