It’s been a busy start to spring! And during days like these, I am always tempted to take the easy way out of dinner with a quick drive-thru run, takeout order, or a frozen pizza.
That is why I love 30-minute meals, especially ones that include two servings of veggies PLUS the veggies blended into our Mama Jess Garden Organic Pasta Sauce! I used the Trader Joe’s sweet potato gnocchi, but the cauliflower gnocchi (or regular) would be great too. You can also add in browned sausage link slices, I just didn’t have any on hand so it’s the perfect #MeatlessMonday dinner as well.
Enjoy this flavorful dinner dish and enjoy it even the next day for lunchtime leftovers!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi Pasta Dinner
2020-03-12 10:59:04
Ingredients
- 1 jar Mama Jess Garden Organic Pasta Sauce
- 2 bags Trader Joe's Sweet Potato Gnocchi*
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 6 oz baby spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (optional)
- Optional: Italian sausage, ground up in sliced links (browned)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, add a dash of olive oil and the frozen gnocchi. Cook until the sides are golden brown, just before they start to get soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In another skillet, saute the peppers, garlic, and onions in the olive oil until veggies are soft.
- Add the spinach to wilt, adding another dash of olive oil if needed. Salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked gnocchi, blending with the veggies.
- Pour in the desired amount of Mama Jess sauce that you want to use (I used about half a jar), letting simmer for a minute or two.
- Pour in heavy whipping cream, if you are using, and stir well to combine the cream into the sauce.
- Allow to simmer for another minute or two before serving.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- *Can use cauliflower gnocchi as well
