Now I know why everyone is raving about Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi because it's AWESOME! I hear it sells out quickly at my local TJ's so I quickly picked up the gnocchi when I came across it last week. I had leftover butternut squash from the butternut noodles I made so I googled this recipe on Food Network and added my own twist. The gnocchi and butternut squash created a guilt-free creaminess to the dish and the cheese blended all of the flavors together. I hope I have the opportunity to make this dish for family/friends soon because I want to share this delicious meal!
