We love this Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage dish so much and that is why every time I’m at Trader Joe’s, I toss a few bags into my cart. They are great to have on hand when you need a quick meal or don’t feel like putting a lot of effort into dinner.

Tips for making your sweet potato gnocchi

Forget the directions on the package! Toss the contents of the bag into a heated pan drizzled with a bit of oil and mix until the gnocchi are heated through.

Other ways to prepare your gnocchi

The great thing about gnocchi or pasta in general is you can pretty much pair it with anything. So what should you serve with sweet potato gnocchi? Well ,you can add in a variety of proteins, vegetables and sauces and make an entirely new dish each and every time. Versatility is so important when it comes to cooking.

Personally, I cannot eat the same thing every day – I like to switch it up! My husband can eat a meal he loves every single day for a year (and I’m pretty sure he has! Obviously before we lived together). Everyone is different!

How to make Trader Joe’s Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage

1. First you’re going to want to prepare your ingredients: Slice the onion, mushrooms and chicken sausage.
2. Heat a large pan with 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil and add the onion to the pan. Sauté until they’re coated well with oil and then add the mushrooms.
3. When the mushrooms are about halfway cooked, add the gnocchi and chicken sausage.
4. Continue to cook until the gnocchi are heated through and then add the spinach and mix until wilted.

Are Trader Joe’s Sweet Potato Gnocchi healthy?

Everything in moderation is what I always say. I wouldn’t call this dish “healthy” but I also wouldn’t call it “unhealthy”. The fact that the gnocchi are made with sweet potato > white potatoes in my opinion make them “healthier” but again, that’s my opinion! I wouldn’t eat these everyday and I always wouldn’t eat the entire package, however I do split a package with my husband about once a week and enjoy a bit of a more indulgent dinner. To beef this dinner up and add in protein and micros, I add the chicken sausage and the veggies.
