INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Sausage
1 cup Cauliflower Gnocchi
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
2 tbsp Creamy Pesto Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss a mix of bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes or until they begin to caramelize.
While the vegetables roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken sausage. Sauté and slice the sausage into rounds until nicely browned and heated through.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower gnocchi with a little olive oil over medium-high heat until the edges turn golden, about 3-4 minutes. This step enhances their texture.
Prepare the creamy pesto by blending fresh basil, baby spinach, one small garlic clove, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a handful of cashews until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. For this recipe, use 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce.
To assemble, plate the roasted vegetables and place the sautéed gnocchi alongside. Top with sliced chicken sausage and drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the gnocchi. Serve immediately and enjoy the medley of flavors and textures.
