Everyone’s Obsessed With Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi

Trader Joe’s has been a fan favorite in the foodie world as of late, serving up offerings with the potential to create a cultlike following. From Speculoos Cookie Butter to Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend and everything in between, there is no stopping the fresh-format grocery store when it comes to sparking a food craze.

The latest product to garner serious interest is its frozen cauliflower gnocchi, the brand’s low-calorie and gluten-free answer to the Italian staple. While we’ve established that the best way to whip these up is by frying them (in lieu of steaming, per the instructions on the package), a little more flavor can definitely do the gnocchi some good. With that in mind, we set out to uncover the many ways you can reinvent this easy dish. Take a look.
