Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12oz package frozen cauliflower gnocchi I used Trader Joe's brand.
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoon vodka
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan Plus more for garnish.
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the gnocchi: Prepare the cauliflower gnocchi according to the package instructions. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Sauté the Shallot & Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced shallots and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the Crushed Red Pepper & Tomato Paste: Add the tomato paste and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the paste has coated the shallots and garlic, and begins to darken, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Vodka: Carefully add the vodka to the pan and stir to incorporate, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the Cream: Reduce the heat slightly to medium-low. Add the heavy whipping cream, stirring constantly until combined. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring until incorporated.
  • Add the Cooked Gnocchi: Carefully add the prepared gnocchi to the pan. Stir to coat. Add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and combined. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
